HSBC Pro Soccer Clinic Registration Extended
The deadline for the HSBC Pro Soccer Clinic registration has been extended to Friday 24 June 2011. The clinic, which caters to youth soccer players between the ages of 6 -16 years old, will kick-off on 4 July 2011 at the BAA Field, Pembroke.
Participants will be coached by David Bascome and other professional soccer players and coaches from Bermuda and the United States. HSBC Pro Soccer Clinic was founded 20 years ago and has seen more than 4000 participants.
Applications are available for the Soccer Clinic at www.hsbc.bm/inthecommunity .
Extended because the CASH COW has died David!! Give the youth a break and give back some of the monies you have profited from. Who has benefited from these clinics?? Parents wake up where is your investment lead you???
Touche’
Now request that k Thompson stop misleading parents on the merits of young kids touring Holland, at some cost, and you would really be on to something…
How about the kids and parents who are being told (and believing) that for a mere $5k each they are guaranteed to be assessed by EPL clubs with contracts readily available for those deemed good enough.
We obviously can’t speak for individual promoters but generally speaking there is a lot of money to be made from organizing soccer camps – its an industry in its own right in the US and the UK – all with the bait of a University scholarship or a professional contract.
What should be made clear is whether such things are part of a genuine development plan, a “life experience” opportunity or a means of getting the kids out of your hair for a few weeks.
Arguably a two week trip cannot be either of the first two.
