Courts Pee Wee Football Tournament…Teacher Ferdinand of Kettley Primary exuding confidence
Teacher responsible for Kettley Primary School preparations to participate in the Courts Pee Wee Football Tournament, Philip Ferdinand, speaking with Kaieteur Sport at the school’s location two days ahead of the start of competition, exuded confidence of doing well.

Ferdinand said that the eagerness of the students have made it difficult for him to select the final composition of the team and he has now decided to wait until a final training session scheduled for tomorrow, at the National Park to do so.
“Initially I had about 20-plus students to choose from which I eventually reduced to 12 with the intention of picking a final 10, but even that is proving difficult for me right now and I’m thinking about taking all 12 to our opening game against St. Sidwell’s on Saturday,” Ferdinand told this newspaper.
Quizzed on the school’s preparations, Ferdinand disclosed that after an initial session talking about the rules of the game, he got down to teaching the basic rudiments of the sport including how to keep control of the ball, how to pass the ball and how to score goals and so far the students have been very receptive according to him.
In response to how difficult it was to come up with his final selection from such a large batch of students attending the school, Ferdinand said he first decided to choose those with a basic background of the game, before eliminating those who hadn’t.
He revealed that they’ve been able to practice for a total of five days so far and indications are that the boys have steadily improved over the period.
Meanwhile, opening day fixtures are as follows: Marian Academy versus St. Pius from 10:00hrs; St. Sidwell’s vs. Kettley; Green Acres vs. Sophia; Tucville vs. St. Gabriel’s; West Ruimveldt vs. Success Academy; St. Margaret’s vs. F.E Pollard; South Ruimveldt vs. Redeemer and North Georgetown vs. Enterprise.
