Our coaches travelled to Turin for a training camp which saw them learn new things which we have implemented already into our day-to-day training sessions. Our U13’s won an away tournament in Kandana which no doubt was a thrilling day to be a part of. This month saw us host a number of age specific tournaments on each Thursday of March as
we aim to continue to give children game time as it is a vital aspect in their quest to sharpen skills such as decision making.For the season, we have a number of events lined up along with our Kickerz Cup, which has been rebranded with an international flavor to it. We will also be taking a girls team to KL, Malaysia as we look to strengthen and develop the girls game with international experience and exposure.The Juventus Camp will yet again be an event which highlights our partnership with the
Italian giants as we look to strengthen our relationship with the club from Europe. All of these events give our children a sense of purpose and something to look forward to and we hope to make this another memorable season. Amidst all of this unfolding, our training takes place 4 times a week for children aged between 5-18.
