A statement by the school said the 9th edition of the Greensprings Kanu Football Camp would resume in April and would have young children between the ages of five and 17 to learn the fundamental skills required to be professional football players.
Chief Strategy Officer of the school group, Mr Uche Ogbu, said, “As part of Greensprings School’s Corporate Social Responsibility, awards will be issued to participants based on their conduct in camp; more importantly, the most promising player of the camp will be awarded a full academic scholarship to study at Greensprings School.”
While speaking on the goal of the event, Ogbu, said the Kanu Camp was designed to empower children through football and education, adding that children would be trained by top coaches from Europe and the Lagos State Football Association. “They will be taken through so many drills including, one-touch shooting, three-goal drills, lay-offs, turns, chest control, headers on goal, basic short passes, shuffling passes, tackling, sliding tackles, goalkeeping, and other exciting drills. “Other activities include five-aside football matches, mentoring sessions, mental stimulation, swimming, basketball, and basic networking.
Ogbu revealed that while the camp was suspended during the coronavirus pandemic, two alumni of Greensprings Kanu Football Camp, Jubril Azeez, and Light Eke were recruited into the Golden Eaglets squad for the West African Football Union B U-17 Championship in 2022.He said, “The two are poised to represent the country at this year’s U-17 African Cup of Nations in Algeria and FIFA U-17 World Cup in Peru.”All rights reserved.
