Bermudian In China Supports Skills Competition
Darren Burchall, a former national youth team footballer who now teaches in Shenzhen, China, recently took the time to salute those taking part in the Lockdown Football Skills Competition, which is being hosted by GoMedia and SGI Sports.
A spokesperson said, “Bermudian teacher and former national youth team footballer Darren “Butchie” Burchall is now back at his teaching job in Shenzhen, China, but recently took the opportunity to salute those engaged in the Lockdown Football Skills Competition.
“Burchall, who arrived in the technology centre after a temporary post at Bermuda High School for Girls, is teaching Information Technology and robotics in the highly competitive area of Science Technology, Engineering & Math [STEM].
“Speaking with GoMedia-BDA spokesperson Rick Richardson, Burchall said he returned to the classroom in Shenzhen two weeks ago.
“He noted that students in years 9, 10, and 11 were back in the classroom, while those in years 4 and 8 will turn up for studies next week.
“Shenzhen is located on the southern tip of the central Chinese mainland, in the south of Guangdong Province.
“Meantime, Burchall said it was good to see young people here staying active during the lockdown and he sent organizers a 30-second video demonstrating just how goalkeepers can enter the competition.”
