Kempton Park Football club desires to regain form post lockdown
The club won the Raliavhegwa Annual Soccer Tournament about five months ago at Birch Acres Sport Centre.
Kempton Park Football Club coach Prince Leo Adegoke (40) is ready to take his post-lockdown strategies to the pitch.
He is also ready to reveal interesting insights to help the team conquer the post lockdown season.
The team is not yet back on the field following the suspension of all sports activities by President Cyril Ramaphosa to help curb the spread of the Covid-19.
Adegoke, who joined the club a year ago, hasn’t lost a game since he took over as the head coach.
He aims at ensuring that players maintain their top fitness levels and are ready when football returns to action.

“This lockdown is affecting our cardio exercises. I miss our training sessions and doing what I love most, which is coaching and game time.
“I have learnt how to prepare my boys to train and play, and how to bring out the best in them during the trying times. I know my qualities as a good coach.
“It is imperative for these athletes to maintain their fitness levels as soon as the season starts.
“The boys are putting the extra work in. They follow their meal and exercise programmes aimed at assisting them to keep fit and healthy. By doing this our players are able to assess themselves and improve where required.”

The Spartan resident stated that soccer has been his passion since childhood as he had the opportunity to be in the midst of big soccer minded individuals.
“I often think about the times I would follow my uncle to the field and joined him for big matches at my home town stadium in Ibadan (Liberty Stadium) in Nigeria.
“I then developed utmost respect for the sport. I had the opportunity to play for my high school (Ibadan Grammar School) and decided to play soccer professionally but injuries cut short my dreams.
“The lessons I always share with aspiring footballers include tolerance, discipline and love for others,” said Adegoke.
