And it will do this using its own methodology and select professionals, trained and supervised by the franchisor to guarantee the application of the Neymar Sports method and the teaching quality in all the schools in Brazil and around the world, as well as the use and practice of other sports modalities such as basketball, volleyball, among others, aiding in the integral development of the student's motor skills.
The high quality of the lessons and of student learning is a focus and this goal is achieved through 3 basic pillars of work:
- 1. The student's age - so the class can be adequately defined, respecting the inherent abilities of each student.
