Soccer tournament to groom young talent
“We are inviting teams from all over Kwatsaduza, from u-11 up to u-17 and masters.”
KwaThema – KwaThema Futsal Association sponsored by KwaThema Square Centre will be hosting the Easter Six-a-Side Soccer Tournament for 2018.
“We want to make sure that the u-11 boys are well equipped and technical by the time they are 13 years old.
“This is the platform to groom them,” explains coach Innocent Mayoyo, founder of Ace Auto Ayoba.
The tournament will provide the association and teams a chance to establish a league for u-11 players.
“We are creating these smaller tar soccer grounds at KwaThema Square so the younger boys can maximize their talent.
“It is very hard for them to run across a normal pitch.”
