Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Programme holds trials for US Scholarship

Mar 07, 2014 Sports

Three players from the Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football programme were recently evaluated by National Coaches Wayne Dover and Sampson Gilbert of the Guyana National Football Coaches Association for a scholarship to the ASA College in the United States. The players are Shaka Lewis, Ronaldo Dover and Dominique Babb.
The three players were selected for evaluation after a pre-screening was done based on players’ academic qualifications. The academic and player evaluation will now be submitted to the ASA College Coach in New York where one will be selected for a full Football Scholarship opportunity at that College.
ASA College men’s soccer team qualified for the USA National Junior College Athletic Association Division I Championships last year.
Before the technical evaluation, Programme Director Colin Baker explained to the players the nature of the scholarship and stated that it was in keeping with one of the main objectives of the Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Programme.
He also expressed his delight that the programme is now in partnership with the Guyana Football Coaches Association.
This partnership has been created where 15 national coaches will assist with coaching of the players and assisting the PE coaches of the schools who attended a Coaches Training course administered by Technical Director of the programme Mr. Stanley Harmon.
Mr. Harmon was also instrumental in making the scholarship opportunity possible. The 2014 Scotiabank/Pepsi School Football Tournament phase kicks off on March 15 featuring 24 schools from Georgetown, Berbice and Linden.
Most schools will be fielding a male and female team. A total of 100 league games will be played among the three areas before the champion male and female teams from each area contest the semi-finals and finals.
