Tobago to play in CFU Under 16
Friday, July 7th 2006
A Tobago representative team, will, for the first time participate in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Under-16 tournament next month. The event will be staged in Trinidad and Tobago and is expected to attract representative teams from all the football playing countries in the region.
In preparation for the tournament, the Tobago Football Association has been conducting a series of screening sessions aimed at selecting the best available talent to ensure that Tobago has a quality team to represent the island in the tournament. The third of these screening sessions is scheduled to come off this Sunday 9 July at the Dwight Yorke Stadium, Bacolet from 9 a.m.
Tony Keith, one of Tobago's most respected coaches has the responsibility for conducting the screening sessions and he told the Tobago News that "so far we have been attracting players from all across the island and we have come across some amazingly talented youths who have the strength, size and natural skill which are the basic requirements for transforming them into top-class players".
Keith stressed the need for Tobago's young players to have an on-going development programme and more playing experience against opponents of a higher level, in so doing their development will be more enhanced, he added.
Keith said that players for the Under 16 screening must be born before January 1, 1990.
