Digicel Bermuda recently announced the dates of its 2014 Digicel Kick Start Programme, in which three of the World’s best youth coaches from the Chelsea FC Foundation will lead the search for Bermuda’s top footballing talent. The Digicel Kick Start Clinic will run May 9th through 11th 2014.
In its second year locally and eighth year globally, the Digicel Kick Start Programme will see thousands of aspiring young footballers from across 14 countries in the Caribbean and Central America try out for their chance to travel to the Digicel/Chelsea FC Academy in Barbados and train under top coaches from Barclays Premier League side, Chelsea FC.
Digicel Bermuda reached out to local high schools and the Bermuda Football Association for nominations. Those registered took part in the final pre-sessions led by Coach Kevin Johnston of the Bermuda Athletic Association (BAA).
BAA coaches assessed all confirmed footballers and selected a maximum of 30 to participate in an intense two-day Clinic with Chelsea FC coaches beginning May 9th 2014. Subsequently, the Chelsea FC coaches will select three athletes to join their regional counterparts in Barbados in October.
