Skills camp takes soccer to the next level
All 140 participants received a certificate of recognition for their attendance at the SAB League Skills Camp.
SOUTH African Breweries in close partnership with the South African Football Association (SAFA) successfully hosted the inaugural edition of the SAB League Skills Camp on Saturday, 12 March.
This groundbreaking grassroots football development initiative by SAB saw 80 players, 20 coaches, 20 match officials and 20 club administrators from the SAB League being taken through valuable skills and capacity-building training to further develop them in their respective areas.
The SAB League Skills Camp has been developed by SAB to bridge the vast gap between education and professional football, which has over the years resulted in loss of talent both on and off the field. A total of 140 participants were involved in the one-day workshop conducted by highly qualified SAFA instructors such as Steve Coetzee. This was then followed by a practical session on the field in the form of exhibition matches involving all players, coaches and match officials, where they were tasked to put into practice what they learnt during the workshops.
All 140 participants received a certificate of recognition for their attendance at the SAB League Skills Camp. The skills camps will continue across the country. The next camp is scheduled to take place in the Northern Cape in April.
