During a three day program held from the 17th until 19th of July twenty-five girls, varying in experience level, got introduced to the world of soccer. The camp was a combination of soccer training and fun activities with the children playing football in the morning, switching to fun afternoon activities which were made possible by the Butterfly Farm, Aqua Mania Adventures and Tri sports.
During the finals on Saturday of the camp two girls got rewarded the Coaches award and the Most Valuable Player award. The awards were in the form of two Fifa Coca Cola balls of the 2014 World Cup donated by B&C Beverages. Indira Richardson received the coach award for her discipline, sportsmanship and team spirit and Emese Wurth received the Most Valuable Player award for exhibiting great talent on the field. All kids received certificates from coach Hannah O’Brien and coach Meredith Aird who travelled from Connecticut to conduct the trainings. The Oualichi Women’s Soccer Association also partnered with the fit camp of the Minsitry of Health, Labour and Social Affairs by organising a small soccer tournament at the field for the approximately 50 kids of both camps. Minister the Honorabble Cornelius de Weever also took time out of his busy schedule to attend the final tournament.
This specific Girls camp was unique in that it focused solely on young females with the organisation and trainings given only by women. The camp was also made free in order to make it possible for all kids of different backgrounds to participate. The Oualichi Women’s Soccer Association would like to thank all who volunteered and assisted in making this camp possible, specifically the sponors Gebe NV, Island Gems Charity Foundation, Medicosmetics, Domino’s and Powerade for donating to the organisation of the camp.
