Eight Footballers Finish David Bascome Clinic
Eight of Bermuda’s promising young soccer players graduated today from the week long HSBC School of Excellence Programme, managed by Pro MISL player David Bascome. The eight players were selected to participate in the 12th year of the programme based on their leadership qualities, positive attitude and superior work rate displayed during the HSBC Pro Soccer Clinic, which took place a week prior.
The HSBC School of Excellence ran from July 5 – July 9, 2010 and sought to help the chosen students expand on their skills both on and off the field by taking classes, work experience and soccer training every day. This year’s chosen students are: Uzziah Bell, Marquis Burgess, Ryan Cantarella, Anthony Francis, Shomuri Simons, Teara Thomas, Tah-mi Williams and Zhiyah Wolffe.
Shannon Burgess, HSBC representative, believes that the HSBC School of Excellence will positively affect the students’ soccer skills as well as help them become stronger members of the community. He said, “I am confident that all of these participants will not only walk away from this programme stronger, fitter and more confident in their soccer playing ability but with a greater regard for teamwork and community spirit.”
