Teaming up with Sacred Sports Foundation Inc, which was founded in 2008 in St Lucia, the two-day course focused on Child Safeguarding and Coach Development.

Among the areas discussed were Child Safeguarding (Awareness and Role) and Teaching Technique to young footballers, with focus on the basics.

Hosted at the Haddon Hotel and the Grammar School Playing Field, the main facilitators were former technical director of St Vincent and the Grenadines’ football Ces Podd and Chair of Sacred Sports Foundation Inc Delroy Alexander.

Ian Sardine, head of the System Three set-up, related that the course was part of laying the platform for the academy to become self-sustainable.

Sardine revealed that several other development plans are being formulated and would soon be rolled out. He said that the System Three Academy continues to work closely with the Sacred Sports Foundation Inc.

The goal of the Sacred Sports Foundation Inc is to promote children’s rights and values through football, sport and physical literacy games that promote active participation within educational settings.(RT)
