THE San Fernando Football Academy recently distributed 75 certificates to students who participated in a compact season of training and development programmes over the May to August period.
These training sessions were held on Thursdays and Saturdays. At the presentation ceremony over the weekend, Sport Company of Trinidad and Tobago (SPORTT) representative Rixon Power delivered the feature address.
He congratulated the youngsters on their athletic growth but paid particular mention to sport discipline. The SPORTT rep also commended the club and its staff for providing a consistent flow of young footballers coming through their camps.
The south-based club has proven to be one of the more successful youth football clubs in the San Fernando area, since its inception in 2009. Also presented to numerous Under-10 players were a total of 50 football training shoes.
The Academy also chose to celebrate their Under-15 team that made it into the semi-finals of the Republic Youth Cup Semi Final in July.
This club will soon begin its third term of football training with children training in the five and Under, seven and Under, nine and Under, 12 and under and Under-17 age categories.
The Academy will also be hosting their annual football tournament entitled “San Fernando Future Football Stars 2012”, with friendly matches in the five and Under and seven and Under divisions.
At this meet, competitive matches will be played in the Under-nine, Under-13 and Under-16 categories. Trophies and medals will be presented to the top-three finishers while footballs will be distributed to outstanding players.
