    1. One week lng sa isang taon nagkikita ang mga players at coaching staff sa PFF. That is the sad reality of our Youth Teams puro Men's lng pinaghahandaan ng PFF kawawa yung mga bata.

    1. yung lng ang training camp nila this year dahil libre yun from Genesys and JFA pero iba na namang batch ito na players compared last year at kung meron mang natira ay hindi umabot ng sampu ito sa batch last year. Ganyan ka kitid ang utak ng PFF mag plano sa mga Youth teams natin pampogi lng.
