FIFTY-TWO COACHES from Danao and Carmen
showed up for the first Kasibulan Football Grassroots Development Program of the
Cebu Football Association (CFA) yesterday in Danao City, northern Cebu.
Raffy Musni, the chairman of the
grassroots committee of the CFA, said the aim for now is to give the coaches
good training.
Musni, who attended the opening ceremonies
of the three-day event, said the CFA will fully support the program’s
beneficiaries by providing the equipment and the referees.
Grassroots development officer Eleazar
Toledo said the participants were very active and showed keen interest on the
program.
“We had a lively interaction during the
workshop and they eagerly came up with their own presentation during the
practical sessions,” Toledo said.
Raymond Meca, who heads the Danao Football
Club, which is helping with the event, said that they are very thankful that
Danao was chosen to be one of the beneficiaries of the Kasibulan program.
“We have been playing football for a long
time and still we learned something new,” Meca said.
Yesterday, Toledo shared the grassroots
development philosophy of the Federation Internationale de Football Association
(FIFA) and the philosophy based on the Philippines setting that the GDOs came up
with during their instructor’s course held in San Carlos City before the
summer.
Today, Toledo will instruct coaches how to
run the Grassroots Course Festival (GCF) as one of the goals of the Kasibulan
program is for these coaches to handle their own GCF. /CORRESPONDENT MARS G.
