Eagerly anticipated Courts Pee Wee Football kicks off today
The eagerly anticipated Petra Organisation- organised Courts Pee Wee Schools Football Competition is set to kick-off today with twelve matches, at the Thirst Park ground.
Co-Director of Patra Organisation Troy Mendonca speaking with Kaieteur Sport yesterday said that he expects an even higher level of skills to be on display this year as compared to last year when the tournament made its revival after a brief break.
According to Mendonca, the Organisers along with the support of sponsor Courts (Guyana) Inc. in seeking to lift the all-round standard of the tournament in collaboration with the Guyana Football Coaches Association recently conducted a two-day Beginners Coaching Workshop which taught teachers and other interested persons the rudiments of the game.
Mendonca disclosed that shortly before the commencement of the first round of matches there will be a March Past of the twenty-four teams slated to participate in the tournament and high ranking officials from Courts (Guyana) Inc. and the Petra Organisation are expected to meet the teams.
