IB Fitness has yet another big announcement! Recently purchased in April of 2014 by Louisiana native Nick Gaspard, the locally owned and operated health club is gearing up for another big month. While the US was sadly eliminated from this years World Cup, IB Fitness has decided to maintain the soccer fever by flying in two semi pro soccer players from Seattle, Washington.
Vanya Popov and Rustam Mamedov will teach an educational clinic for local youth, held at the Mar Vista High School utility fields on July 26 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
When asked why these two athletes were selected, Nicole Fulford, Fitness Director at IB Fitness stated, “It’s important to us for the community to know Vanya and Rustam were invited for more reasons that just their talent in soccer. Both men have over a decade of coaching and training youth, degrees in Psychology and Physical Education, and both are currently teaching in the Shoreline School District.”
She continued by saying, “I’ve personally gotten to witness their ability to identify and instruct people of all ages, and I can proudly say we are honored to have such passionate and talented players visiting our small community.”
The multi lingual players speak English, Russian and Spanish fluently and will be arriving in San Diego after just returning from a visit to the World Cup in Brazil.
Participants who enroll can expect to get both one-on-one and group training. Group sessions will occur throughout the day and participants will be assigned to these groups based on age and skill level. At the end of each session the groups will be broken into teams and a scrimmage will occur with Vanya and Rustam coaching the teams.
