In cooperation with the Students Activities Unit at Al-Mustaqbal University College, the Physical Education & Sports Sciences Department keeps on pursuing its scientific activities at Al Mahaweel Sports Club.
Under the supervision of the Dept. Staff, several studies have been applied on Al-Mahaweel Football Club Academy, as well as Al-Mahaweel Football Club Team, which is currently participating in the Iraqi Football League of the second degree.
The main objective of these studies is to promote the physical and technical abilities of these teams, in addition to identifying some of the tools and requirements that should be provided during training. They aim as well to enrich the football team career with quite knowledge and experiences that they may apply them later to achieve the requisite goals.
It should be noted that the supervising staff has organized a training program for the football team players, in which a series of workshops have been introduced, including “A Course on General & Special Preparation, Pre-Competition Stage, in addition to Competition & Transitional Durations”. It is remarkable to note, however, that the topics stated above constitute an essential part of the annual plan recommended by the Academic Staff of the Physical Education & Sports Sciences Department at Al-Mustaqbal University College.
Such activity is deemed to be voluntary, aiming to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals, specifically, SDG 03: Good Health & Well-Being, SDG 04: Quality Education, and SDG 08: Decent Work & Economic Growth. In general, the activity intends to accomplish the following targets:
o Creating new attitudes and viewpoints towards our Department, spreading sports culture, and emphasizing the fact that job opportunities are widely available for the Department graduates;
o Working seriously for the purpose of promoting students and graduating a generation of academics capable of leading the educational process;
o Training students on how to deal with junior learners;
o Providing job opportunities to the Department students; and
o Promoting self-confidence among Physical Education Students, driving them to love their profession, and accordingly, they could enthusiastically push and encourage people to practice sports.
