Soccer in schools

The Hangzhou Education Bureau plans to include soccer in school curriculums to build up their fitness.

“We want to make soccer a part of our life and a lesson for students,” Bian Hong, chief of the bureau’s higher education department, said at the Hangzhou Mayor’s Cup Campus Soccer Tournament last week.

Hangzhou is one of the cities selected to experiment soccer education at schools. It has held the tournament for five years. This year 2,471 students from 93 primary and middle schools and eight kindergartens played 952 matches in the tournament.
