Top Euro coaches for 3rd Kanu/Greensprings Football Camp

Registration for the 3rd Kanu/Greensprings Football Camp begins across the country with top European coaches expected to grace the event. The clinic is an annual event organised by Greensprings School in collaboration with one of Africa’s most decorated footballers, Nwankwo Kanu and it is meant for children between 5 and 17 years.

Kanu-boysAccording to the organisers, interested participants who would like to take part in the camp holding this month at the Lekki Campus of Greensprings School, Lagos can visit for registration procedures. This year, over 100 indigenous coaches will be trained in a partnership programme with the Lagos State Football Association while a day will also be set aside for a community outreach service by the visiting coaches from Europe. 10 coaches made up of six from England and four from the Dutch league are expected at the camp. The coaches from England are from English Premiership sides like Manchester City, Liverpool and West Bromwich Albion. For Kanu, this camp has become a resource centre for future football stars. “There is no doubt that this edition will be more exciting and resourceful more especially as we are taking participants to the next level with the introduction of coaches from Holland to complement the efforts of our coaches from England. It is my desire that participants at this programme will be exposed to the rudiments of football as a prerequisite to developing their skills and techniques at this early stage of their lives,” the former African Footballer of the Year said.
