East Bank footballers to benefit as MCYS hosts Football Academy

Aug 15, 2014 Sports

Footballers along the East Bank corridor will get an opportunity to hone their skills in the intricacies of the football development when officials of the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport stage the Football Academy 2014 at the Grove Playfield, EBD August 18-22 next.
Activities are being conducted under the mission statement, a quote from Edison Arantes do Nascimento aka Pele, “Success is no accident, it is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do”.
The pivotal objective of the programme is to increase participation in grassroots, youth and outreach football programmes across Guyana.
Officials are also intent on promoting the development of football while committing to creating opportunities for young footballers. They said that the ultimate goal is to assist the ball weavers to become professionally involved in the sport through education and involvement in competitions and leagues at the community and national level.
Participants will be drawn from several villages along the East Bank including Agricola, Herstelling, Eccles, Mocha, Kuru Kururu, Diamond and Grove. Further, the programme is meant to provide support to member associations to organize players in the promotion of football within the country while improving the knowledge and competencies of those youngsters in the area of football development.
