Testimonials
Naima Baray - Mom
Let me begin with a big thank you for such a fun and engaging term of training and teaching football. The coaches are very patient and ensure that they hone the kids’ individual strengths yet address the areas where they need to improve. All thanks to these football sessions, Thursday afternoons and evenings have become much awaited and celebrated in our household. Raaid looks forward to each session and enjoys being there, learning and playing the sport he loves. As an audience mom, I love the energy and the synergy of the children. It’s very encouraging to see that the short game skills taught and the tips given by the coaches are incorporated well by the children in the match that they play at the end of each session. I have 3 boys and have been to many training and football matches but the way the end-of-session matches engage the whole crowd here is just amazing. Raaid is sad to have missed the last two sessions of this term but is looking forward to the next term.
Thank you again
