RP team to hold one-day clinic in Cebu
By Iste S. Leopoldo
ELEVEN members of the RP national team will be in to Cebu for the 1GOAL: Education for all Football Clinics this Saturday at the University of San Carlos (USC) Montessori Grounds.
“We initiated this free football clinic to create awareness about the 1GOAL advocacy which is to eradicate poverty through education,” said Toni Zuñiga, a volunteer of the Global Xchange (GX) program.
He added the Philippine national team will be flying to Cebu for a one-day free football clinic for young people who wish to learn or to improve their skills.
“There is no limit to the number of participants and as well as the age of the participants and it is open for boys and girls,” Zuniga said. He added he will also try to get people to sign up for this advocacy.
The clinic will be from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. After the clinic, there will also be an exhibition game between the RP team and the GX British and Filipino volunteers.
“Our British volunteers are also football players,” Zuniga said.
He added he has tapped Eleazar Toledo of the Cebu Football Association for help in their one-day clinic.
This is the second time the RP men’s team will play in the Cebu. The team also played a friendly against the Cebu All-Stars in April, 2008.

Cebu Futsal - Villaflor: Kicking under one roof
By Noel S. Villaflor
THREE floors below ground where the air would have been twice as thick if not for three man-sized exhaust fans working round the clock, 10 pairs of small feet scurry about on a rubberized court.
On the sidelines looms the coach, a middle-aged man, arms crossed, skin baked for years under the soccer sun, barking instructions to either side.
Pass the ball. Stop dribbling. Find an opening. Nice shot. Play on.
The indoor game swings back and forth. There’s no time to catch one’s breath. The boys sprint back to defense, as the girls try to catch them off guard.

Cebu Football - ANS aims for title defense in Milo Olympics
By Edri K. Aznar
THE first National Milo Little Olympics secondary division football champion, Abellana National School (ANS), is geared up for a repeat of its championship run despite having a different lineup.
Although most of its key players have left the championship team, ANS head coach Francis Ramirez is still optimistic his squad will defend its title, starting with the 15th Milo Little Olympics – Visayas this Saturday at the Cebu City Sports Complex (CCSC).
“Our preparations are ongoing and we are adjusting to the seven-a-side format.
Hopefully we will be able to defend our crown in the Visayas and the nationals,” said Ramirez.
Majority of the team’s top players, which includes ace striker and team captain Carlito Abadia, are not coming back this year because they are no longer eligible to play.
New lineup
“Only five players are left from last year’s team,” Ramirez said.
Despite the major alteration in ANS’s roster, Ramirez is still confident they will be as equally competitive as last year because the new players are familiar with the team’s system.
The players from ANS’s 14-Under squad, who also acted as the main team’s practice players last year, filled the void left by Abadia and company.
“The good thing is that we still have veterans left who can man the team,” said Ramirez.
ANS beat Paref-Springdale, 3-1, in the final match of the Visayas finals behind the heroics of Abadia, who scored the final two goals.
ANS went on to win the national Milo Little Olympics title in dominating fashion, beating Mindanao, 6-0, in October.
A total of 15 teams will be competing for the secondary division title of the Visayas leg of the 15th Milo Little Olympics. The winner will represent Visayas in the national tournament.
Ramirez thinks their biggest threat for the title will be Springdale. “Because they get better every year,” Ramirez said.
“Don Bosco is also there because they are the same team that won the Palarong Pamabansa. Sacred Heart is also good and we also have to watch out for the out-of-town team, Siliman, which has a striker who played for the national team.”
The 15th Milo Little Olympics —Visayas will have a press conference and launching, which will be attended by Vice Mayor Joy Young, Nestle Philippines Inc. top executive Pat Goc-ong, organizer Ricky Ballesteros and tournament manager Dr. Danilo Villadolid, today at the CCSC.
