Attending the course divided into theoretical and practical sections were coaches and instructors from sports teams and juvenile sports schools across the country.

The course focused on such matters as players' fitness and role of coaches. What caught the participants' eyes were various methods of physical training in a small ground.

Kim Chang Hyok, an instructor of Pyongyang International Football School, told KCNA that the course helped him have a good understanding of new fitness methods. I will make the best use of these training methods in the practical education of students, he added.

The course was officiated by Jones Mark Sean, an Australian lecturer of FIFA.
