Upcoming: BBFS Goalkeeping Clinic
Bermuda’s Brazilian Football School [BBFS] will hold a Goalkeeping Clinic [open to male & female players] on Monday, June 20th and Tuesday, June 21st. So far 36 goalkeepers from a host of schools and clubs across the island ranging from 7-19 years of age have registered.
The clinic will feature John Moreira. He has a U.S.S.F National A license and also prepares goal-keepers for all level of play from grass roots to University and Pro teams. He is also a licensed representative for the IMG Athletic Academy.
Mr Moreira said, “It is with great pleasure that I am able to come back home to work with Bermuda’s Brazilian Football School, Coach Dennis Brown and Cal Blankendal and last but certainly not least the Kids, which the game belongs to.”
“I have been studying the art of Goalkeeping over the last several year and have had the good fortune and opportunity to work with some of the best in the Goalkeeping industry such as; Dan Gaspar former Portugal National Goalkeeper Coach, Benfica and Porto GK Coach. I have run my own Goalkeeper Academy Eurostar for over 7 years now and, have seen the results produced by our coaches and students.”
“Now I am eager to come home to Bermuda and share my knowledge with the Youth and Coaches of the Island. I come back home with the frame of mind to share knowledge but also learn from the kids.”
“I have seen great talent on the Island on my trips home. Goalkeeping is a specialized position and it is indeed an art. I will with the assistance of Local GK Coaches detail the four components of the position: Technical, Tactical, Physical and Mental.”
Cal / Dennis…Can you advise when John Morreira worked at Roma? I’m assuming this is Roma from the top Italian League, correct.When I read this I was intrigued because there is nothing in John’s bio on his website, that inidicates ever working for Roma. You would think that if John held such a prestigious position it would be at the top of his list of achievements on his site. Please advise in what capacity and what years John held positions with Roma,Bolton,Benfica and Genova.
The title of the article in the RG was not selected or posted by BBFS. Please visit our website http://www.bermudabfs.com where it states “John has worked for and with (the above mentioned persons/clubs). It states for and with as the individuals/clubs have held camps etc where he has been invited to be a GK instructor or local representative in Canada. At no time, do we mention John as having a full time position at any of these organisations.
Please see the details on the site of http://www.EurostarGoalkeeper.com andthe connection with Genova And Roma,Benfica Dan Gaspar etc. I hope this helps to convince you that he is good enough to train our local keepers.

No Cal, can’t say that I am satisfied with your explanation. Clearly your guy has decent background in Canada but the links to these top European clubs is peripheral at best. But good luck with this.
