THE national U-15 male team will today wrap up a successful five-day encampment on the West Coast of Demerara. The camp is in preparation for CONCACAF U-15 Boys Championship in the United States of America (USA) from August 13 to 19.
In an invited comment, Bryan Joseph, head coach of the National U-15 Boys team said he was pleased with the progress made by the players from the last camp, adding, “We’ve seen progress faster than we’d expected.

The team has grown a lot over the last few months and the several encampments we’ve had. We’re now in a position where we have a clear picture of our potential based on what we have been able to achieve. We also have a better understanding of how to prepare the guys.”

Joseph said the new players from the GFF-Scotiabank Academy Training Centres (ATC) included in the squad have added a competitive edge to the players, “The camp has got very competitive and every positon within the squad is being challenged by new members so we have observed that both the level of play and commitment have improved. Clearly we have seen the importance of the ATCs and how the developmental pathway of the players is coming together.”

He envisages Guyana to be very competitive in the August tournament: “This is still a process, we don’t have the final product as yet; we continue to build with a solid technical unit that is working together to bring out the best in the team.
We expect a competitive tournament and we plan to be equal to the task.
Therefore, we’re working to get the young footballers ready to face whomever comes before us.”
