Bringing Parents Together: Kickers Football Tournament [Photo Highlights]

Kathmandu Kickers recently organized a special football tournament for the parents of our young players, held at Coupon Sports Center, Kapan. The main idea behind this event was not only about playing football, but also about creating a stronger bond between all Kickers’ parents from different locations.

We believe football is more than just a game. It is a way to connect people, share experiences, and build a community. With this thought in mind, the Parents’ Tournament was designed to bring everyone together in a fun and active environment.

The atmosphere at Coupon Sports Center was filled with excitement and cheer as parents took to the field. For many, it was a chance to experience what their children feel every weekend (at least): teamwork, energy, and the joy of the beautiful game. While some parents played with a competitive spirit, others enjoyed the chance to participate, laugh, and create memories.

More than the goals scored or the matches won, the true success of the tournament was the spirit of togetherness. Parents who had never met before became teammates, cheered for each other, and shared warm conversations off the pitch. This helped to build a sense of unity among the Kickers family that goes beyond regular training sessions.

We are proud to see such strong community involvement. Kathmandu Kickers is not just about developing young footballers, but also about creating lasting relationships among families.

Here are some of the images from the event:

How to Stay Motivated During Dashain and Tihar Holidays

Festivals are a special time in Nepal. Dashain and Tihar bring family gatherings, delicious food, and moments of joy that we all look forward to every year. At Kathmandu Kickers, we also understand that these holidays can make it harder to keep the same routine and energy for training. That’s why it’s important to find a balance, so you can enjoy the celebrations while also staying motivated for football and fitness.

Our Dashain holidays this year will run from September 29 to October 6, and the Tihar vacation will be from October 21 to 25. In between Dashain and Tihar, there will be regular sessions, so you’ll still have plenty of chances to get back on the pitch and stay sharp.

So, how can you make sure you don’t lose your rhythm during this festive season? Here are some simple tips:

1. Set small goals
You don’t need to train as hard as you usually do during the holidays. Instead, focus on small daily goals like 15 minutes of stretching, juggling the ball, or light jogging. These small efforts will keep your body active and your mind engaged in the game.

2. Balance food and fitness
Festivals are all about feasting, and it’s natural to enjoy. But try to balance heavy meals with movement. Even a short walk after lunch or dinner can help. Remember, fitness is not about restriction, but it’s about balance.

3. Stay connected with your team spirit
Even when you’re away from training, keep the football spirit alive. Talk with your teammates, share holiday wishes, or even challenge each other to small fitness tasks online. Motivation grows when you feel part of a team.

4. Rest, but don’t stop
Holidays are a chance to recharge, and rest is just as important as training. But resting doesn’t mean stopping completely. A quick kick-around with cousins or a morning stretch can keep you in rhythm without feeling like “training.”

5. Come back ready
Think of the holiday as a short break, not a pause button. When sessions resume after Dashain and between Tihar, come back fresh and excited. The energy you bring after the holidays can set the tone for your next sessions.

Why Football Training Is an Investment in Your Child

Every parent wants the best for their child, not only in education but also in personal growth and health. Enrolling your child in football training is more than just signing them up for a sport; it’s an investment in their future.

Football teaches life lessons that go far beyond the field. Children learn teamwork, discipline, and leadership, as well as skills that shape them into strong and confident individuals. The game also improves fitness, coordination, and mental sharpness, helping kids stay active and healthy in today’s digital world.

At Kathmandu Kickers, we focus on the comprehensive development of players from the age of 4. Our structured training helps children build resilience, set goals, and work hard to achieve them. These qualities stay with them for life, whether they choose a career in sports or any other field.

Parents often think of football as just a game, but it is a platform where children discover their strengths, make lasting friendships, and dream bigger. By supporting your child’s passion for football, you are investing in their confidence, discipline, and brighter future.

Join Kathmandu Kickers today and give your child the opportunity to grow both as a player and as a person.

Kathmandu Kickers Partners with Sipradi Impact to Launch ‘Football for Future’ Girls’ Training Camp

Kathmandu Kickers is proud to partner with Sipradi Impact, an initiative under SIPRADIAN Sahayata Sanstha, to launch Football for Future,’ a free nationwide football training camp designed exclusively for girls across Nepal. The program aims to empower young girls by developing their football skills, boosting their confidence, and promoting equal opportunities in sports.

The campaign kicked off in Dharan, where 84 girls participated with energy and enthusiasm, followed by another successful camp in Janaknandani, where over 90 girls took part in active training sessions. The overwhelming response from both communities reflects the growing interest and passion for football among young girls in Nepal.

As the technical and coaching partner, Kathmandu Kickers has been leading the on-ground training sessions, providing structured coaching, and creating a fun yet disciplined learning environment for participants. The academy’s experienced coaches have been focusing on teaching fundamental football techniques while also encouraging teamwork, discipline, and confidence both on and off the field.

Speaking about the collaboration, Shambhu Dahal, Senior Vice Chairman of SIPRADIAN Sahayata Sanstha, stated, “Our mission is to help every girl believe in her potential, embrace opportunities, and become a catalyst for change in her community. Football is just the medium; the larger goal is long-term social transformation. With continued collaboration from local communities, schools, parents, and stakeholders, we aim to make this initiative even more impactful.”

After the successful camps in Dharan and Janaknandani, the ‘Football for Future – Nationwide Girls’ Football Training Camp’ is now headed to Pokhara, continuing its mission to empower young girls through the beautiful game.
