KIDS FROM Linden last Sunday benefited from a coaching clinic held by the Kashif and Shanghai Organisation in collaboration with Canadian international football star Dwayne De Rosario at the Mackenzie Sports Club ground from 11:00hrs to 13:00hrs.De Rosario, who has been an ambassador for youth soccer throughout his career which started in his home city of Toronto, attributes most of his success, both professionally and personally, to the experiences he enjoyed while playing soccer as a youth.

Building, inspiring and educating are tenets that have always characterised the De Rosario household and with this in mind, the Dero United Programme was formed in 2007 to serve as a template to foster these values, and De Rosario has always been a active supporter of organisations that share his beliefs.
The clinic is so structured that at the end of it all the kids will leave with the additional tips and tricks for their on-field arsenal. Such topics like, ‘Healthy Eating and Living Insight’ and an ‘Understanding of the Power of Community’ built both on and off the field, along with a great appetite for soccer were taught to the over 30 attendees.
“Our goal is to develop tomorrow’s MVPs in the same manner as Mr De Rosario who is of Guyanese parentage and who chose to reach out in support to our programmes and is committed to working with the K&S Organisation in expanding the DERO United programme here as he will try to frequent the home land of his parents,” the K&S Organisation stated in a press release.
De Rosario who visited with his older brother and father departed Guyana yesterday. The K&S Organisation gives a big thank you to the DERO team and promises to make this collaboration the huge success it is destined to become.
Meanwhile, the tournament continues with a double-header at the Number 5 ground in West Coast, Berbice, on Christmas Day, with Ash Education taking on President’s College at 16:00hrs, followed by the feature clash at 18:00hrs between Bladen Hall Secondary and Ann’s Grove.
