Inaugural Football Holiday Camp 2011 – week III

THE BREWSTER TRUST – “Football for everybody” at the Holiday Camp 2011

This week is the last week of THE BREWSTER TRUST’s first public programme in Barbados.

THE BREWSTER TRUST’s Inaugural Football Holiday Camp 2011 is for girls, boys and also for children with disabilities. It started on July 4th 2011 with a coaching course for 42 local football coaches. In the second week 120 children aged seven to ten years and in the third week 133 children aged eleven to fourteen have been coached at the FIFA approved UWI artificial turf football field at Paradise Park, The Lazaretto, from 9.30 am to 3.30 pm daily.

Another exciting week with very satisfying statistics is over: 130 registered children, over 100 campers came in average each day, 7 % girls, 65 % of the campers came for the whole week. The programme for the age group closed last Friday with an Award Ceremony. The Arsenal coaches Steve Eadon, Adam Tarrant, Ognjen Soskic and Nathaniel Brewster, Vice-President and co-founder of The Brewster Trust, but also local coaches who assisted during the week handed over trophies for the most outstanding boy, the most outstanding girl and a fair play award for each of the four groups as well as the medals for the daily competitions. All participants got some branded memorabilia like a mini-football, t-shirt, medal or sticker. On Thursday afternoon Chesterfield N. Brewster, President of THE BREWSTER TRUST, surprised everyone visiting the Holiday Camp spontaneously for a couple of days and also speaking to the campers during the Award Ceremony also attended by Roland O. Butcher, Director of Sports of The University of the West Indies, and camp partner of THE BREWSTER TRUST.
