What is meant by "are noticed to go" = perhaps it should be "are told to go".

Every day the boy with his classmates enjoy going to the sports ground to play football.

"enjoying themselves" is dangling. The subject of the sentence is "The boy".
It is similar in grammar to: "Every day I notice the boy playing football, enjoying themselves."

My teacher gave us the answer,the right sentence should be:

Everyday the boy,together with his classmates,

is noticed to go to the sports ground and plays football,

enjoying themselves.

I'm even more confused.

Everyday the boy,together with his classmates,

is noticed to go to the sports ground and plays football,

enjoying themselves.

My comments:

The words in bold should be in the plural form. The use of passive form, 'is noticed/seen to' sounds odd. The last part in continuous tense, 'enjoying themselves', is incorrect and does not fit into the sentence.

The sentence construction is awkward with too many pauses (staccato effect).

It sounds a bit like a direct translation from Chinese, which is a common tendency among Chinese learners of English.
