We are very pleased with all the feedbacks we got after the launch of the programme on June 8th 2011. The main question beside registration has been about costs. Yes, we offer this camp free of charge. We only ask for a registration free of BDS$ 20.00 which is fully refundable after five days participation. Of course we had to answer some questions about our organisation as we just started our mission to promote, develop and improve football in Barbados with the aim of creating opportunities at all levels, but especially for the youth. We also have been asked to extend the registration period especially in these hectic last days of the school year and we are flexible and willing to support this request for additional time or the final whistle. The registration for coaches now finally closes on Friday, July 1st 2011 at 3.00pm and the registration for all age groups on Friday, July 8th 2011 at 3.00pm. We are delighted with the response and reception of our initiative and we hope that families still use the opportunity and register their children.
Sincerely,
Axel Bernhardt
CEO THE BREWSTER TRUST

Organiser
The Inaugural Football Holiday Camp 2011 is organised by THE BREWSTER TRUST, a registered Charity in Barbados. The trust’s mission is to promote, develop and improve football in Barbados with the aim of creating opportunities at all levels, but especially for the youth. To impart the qualities of leadership and loyalty, sportsmanship, competitive ambition and the drive for academic excellence as well as discipline, fair play and respect is our ultimate goal, just as the fruitful cooperation with all national and international football stakeholders.
Three age groups
The weeks July 11th – 15th, July 18th – 22nd and July 25th – 29th are all about the youth. The training sessions are age group and performance related and following THE BREWSTER TRUST’s mission it is football for everybody straight from the beginner full of fun and surprises.
Coaching in several groups, coaches are assigned to groups to encourage familiarity with the young people the coaches work with that same group over the course of each week.
Coaching elements will be multifarious with a daily competition based on the session, basic passing techniques developing the range and accuracy of the players, developing the players’ basic dribbling and turning techniques like dribbling at speed, slalom dribbling, dribbling with turns incorporated, control sessions and heading sessions including aerial control with the focus on using various parts of the body like feet, knees or chest, basic techniques of shooting with a development focused on shooting with various parts of the strong and the weak feet, 3 vs 2 and 4 vs 3 shooting sessions and mini matches or a tournament at the end of the week. This will be followed by presentations to all players as well as “Player of the Week” and “Fair Play” awards being handed out.

Most outstanding participant “Coaching the coaches”:
Tito Beckles and Kirk Corbin
Although THE BREWSTER TRUST intended initially to award one participant finally two local coaches have been identified and got an invitation to the next Arsenal Gap Year programme for one month including accomodation in England as well as travel cost. Well done, congratulations and keep up the good work.
Finally also a big thank you to all other local coaches who supported our coaching team over the programme. Much appreciated.
Consider discipline, respect and fair play for the game and we hopefully see you all on the pitch at one of our next programmes.
Coaches
The coaches are alumni of Arsenal FC’s Gap Year Programmes 2010/2011. The Gap Year is open for young men and women over the age of 17. At the beginning of the programme, Gap Year youngsters gain valuable qualifications in coaching, refereeing, first aid, child protection and Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) whilst spending time coaching and teaching in local schools and community soccer schools in and around north London in order to build up confidence levels.
THE BREWSTER TRUST is a partner of Arsenal FC and the Gap Year Programmes 2010 to 2013.
The coaching course is held by John Olaleye, Gap Year/Internship Coordinator at Arsenal FC. The Gappers are under the special guidance of Nathaniel P. Brewster, Vice-President and co-founder of THE BREWSTER TRUST.
Coaching course for football coaches
One approach of THE BREWSTER TRUST is to have qualified and experienced people who are dedicated to football and are willing to share their know-how. Arsenal’s approach fits perfectly with this philosophy. Taking the examples of Israel or Kenya, Arsenal in the Community has recruited, year by year, several gap year students to coach football. This is what THE BREWSTER TRUST sees as one important element towards coaching the coaches.
Beside the coaching week July 4th to 8th 2011, the participants are invited to assist the Gappers for the next three weeks on a weekly basis or a permanent basis to put into action what they’ve learnt. Each coach must be available for the training week and should be available for an additional “Holiday Camp” week.
No sweet without sweat.
The most outstanding participant at the coaching course selected by the Organiser will be awarded a coaching participation at the next Arsenal Gap Year programme for one month which includes accommodation in England as well as travel costs.
