China coach teaches Net-Surfer girls

A former coach of China’s U21 national team will lead an academy for U6 to U9 girls in southern Indiana this spring.

Jiadong Dai - also known simply as "JD" - heads a program that's a great way for young players to improve their game in a fun atmosphere. JD has recently moved to the area after spending time coaching with a large soccer club in Starksville Mississippi.

The academy is open to girls from U6 to U9 and concentrates on dribbling, shooting, ball-control and team work.

"This is a great way for players that want to get better and possibly be identified by our coaching staff for our competitive teams," said Net-Surfers' director of coaching, Dave Smith.

Practice will take place just off Grantline Road in New Albany, starting in March and going on until May. Players U6-U8 will train Tuesdays and Thursday from 5:30-6:30,while Under 9s will practice from 6:30-8:00. Prices range from $75 to $250.
