Tiki-Taka Futsal Clinic Concludes In Bermuda
The Tiki-Taka Futsal Clinic, hosted by Nacho Garrido from Spain, concluded on Sunday [May 25] at the Bermuda College Gymnasium. Over 50 players, both boys and girls, took part in the Futsal Clinic, which focused on passing, possession, and movement.
A spokesperson said, “The Futsal Clinic was under the direction of Nacho Garrido, an ex-professional futsal player. Nacho is also director and advisor of several Futsal Stages throughout France, Croatia, and Spain and an occasional advisor to the England Futsal National Team. He is also Head Coach of C.D. Murcia Cadete Futsal Team [Spain] and The Champions of the Spanish Regional Championships Murcia U17 Women Team [Spain].
“Nacho Garrido also hosted a futsal coach’s clinic on May 25 at the Mount Saint Agnes Gymnasium in which he made a presentation on how futsal influences the outdoor football game and players. He also walked through a few futsal drills that could be used to help develop players at their respective clubs.”
Mr. Garrido said, “It was a great experience with the clinic and I was very surprised positively with the work made in the last two years by Footy Force and Footy Promotions. The two age groups worked hard and with a very good attitude, especially the younger ones.
“I was very happy with their level and passion for the game. I was very grateful to see how fustal is developing in Bermuda among young people and also among girls. I would like to give a big thank you to Footy Promotions and the coaching staff, The Bermuda Youth, Sport and Recreation Department, and also to The Bermuda Futsal Federation.
“Regarding the country, it was a great pleasure for me to know this fantastic and beautiful land. It is really a paradise, but I would like to give a special mention to the people – happy, polite, kind, nice, spectacular people – for making me feel like at home. Thank you, I really hope to come back to Bermuda and of course I encourage you to keep playing and loving futsal.”
