The Vurlon Mills Football Academy Inc. is teaming up with KFC Guyana to conduct the KFC U8 and U10 Challenge Series, slated for March 1, 2025 at the Saint Stanislaus Ground on Carifesta Avenue in Georgetown.
The KFC U8 and U10 Challenge Series presents a unique opportunity to introduce young footballers to organized football. A total of 16 teams from various clubs and schools would be participating with the VMFA in a round-robin tournament- style day of football in which the action kicks off at 08:00 hours.
“We believe that not enough attention is placed on this age group in Guyana. This is the age group that youths should be exposed to in an organized environment, organized training, coaching, and tournament. This age group has tremendous talent, and they are often missed because of the lack of attention. VMFA will continue to focus on these age groups,” Vurlon Mills, Founder and Director of the Vurlon Mills Football Academy, shared during launch of the series on Thursday.
And Sadia Strand, Director of Marketing at KFC Guyana, shared, “It’s an honour to be partnering with Mr. Vurlon Mills and the Vurlon Mills Football Academy. Children are not only given the opportunity to learn football, but they are also learning social skills, a lot about teamwork, and how to develop as individuals. We are very excited for the Under 8 and Under 10 Challenge Series.”
The Vurlon Mills Football Academy is expressing deep gratitude to KFC Guyana for their unwavering support, which is “enabling us to continue to coordinate and create an enabling environment for youths to develop their football skills and be rounded sports men and women”.
