In collaboration with the Siskin Group, the VMFA was able to host the camp for 56 boys and girls at the Georgetown Football Club (GFC) Ground in Georgetown during the month of August.
According to the organizers, the three-day camp focused on areas such as learning fundamental football skills, team-building and the importance of health and nutrition. For the VMFA, it was important to ensure that the camp was a fun and engaging opportunity for the players to continue to develop as young athletes; and it instilled in them important values to inculcate both on and off the field.
“Development is over passion, and we are happy to give these young boys and girls this opportunity,” VMFA founder and camp director Vurlon Mills shared.
Additionally, the Siskin Group’s technical director, former Chief Medical Officer of Guyana Dr. Shamdeo Persaud, spoke to the kids about the importance of health and nutrition.
Based on reports out of the organization, with the promotion of youth sports camps in Guyana, this is just the beginning for these young men and women to further develop character-building, social skills, and their love for the game of football.
The Vurlon Mills Football Academy and The Siskin Group Inc would like to extend a huge “thank you” to the local staff and coaches for helping to make this year’s football camp into a huge success.
Vurlon Mills Football Academy and The Siskin Group Inc are committed to continue growing youth sport programmes that are safe, fun, inclusive, and accessible to all Guyanese youth.
In addition to The Siskin Group, multiple other sponsors contributed to the camp, including MVP Sports, Toucan Distributors, Sunshine Snacks, ANSA McAL under their Lucozade brand, and Demerara Distillers’ Limited (DDL) under their Topco brand.
