PANJIM, JAN 2
The Australian Sports outreach programme organised by the Australian Government in association with Goa Football Association conducted a U-10 football festival coaching camp at Figuereido ground, Curchorem on December 29.
“The main aim of the camp was to develop a love for football among children and train them to become good footballers at the National level,” informed John D’Costa, in-charge of Curchorem centre.
Around 100 participants were provided with jerseys. “While training students we can bring different communities together on the field. They have also started a similar camp at Rivona for the benefit of students from Rivona and surrounding areas,” he added.
At the camp, a group-wise exhibition-cum-demonstration was presented by students displaying various skills and techniques in football.
Shyam Satardekar, MLA, Curchorem constituency was the chief guest and congratulated the organisers and asked the students to take maximum benefit of the camp. He also requested the parents to co-operate with the students. He later gave away the prizes in the presence of Fr Henry D’Sousa, manager, Guardian Angel Educational Complex, Curchorem.
