Messi's boyhood club Newell's creates school for kids with disabilities

The boy is one of nine children who just enrolled at the brand new football school for kids with learning disabilities, created by the Argentine great's childhood club Newell's Old Boys.

"We're a real football family. My husband played for the club, my other two sons did too and the oldest got to the fourth division," said Stefano's mother.

Based in Rosario, some 300 kilometers (185 miles) north of Argentina's capital Buenos Aires, Newell's are not the only club to launch such an initiative.

Going to training is a highlight of the day for the children, but also for the parents who watch their young players' progress from the sidelines.

Sometimes the parents also join coaches in holding kids by the hand as they learn to control the ball. Some children shoot into an empty net before celebrating wildly.
