LONDON,
UK, February 18, 2011 - The London launch of the Jason Roberts
Independent Football Academy will take place at The Pavilion, Stonebridge
Recreation Ground in Brent on Thursday 24th February.
The Jason Roberts
IFA will play against Norwich City FC Academy in 3 different age groups: U10’s,
U12’s and U14’s – the first match will kick off at 11 am.
The aim of the
Academy is to provide youngsters with quality coaching, international
experiences and life skills, whilst bridging the gap between Sunday league
clubs and professional youth set ups.
Following the
successful inaugural launch of the Jason Roberts Independent Football Academy
at Silsoe Global Sports Village in Bedfordshire in January, the young players
will again showcase their footballing skills at their home ground of
Stonebridge.
The new Academy is
led by head coach, Eugene Dwaah, former head of recruitment at Fulham FC.
The event will be
attended by former Norwich City stars Damien Francis and Ade Akinbiyi and
sponsors and partners of the Jason Roberts Foundation: Invest in Brazil – who
have kindly donated the training kits for the Academy players; Wallace Cameron
– who have donated the first aid kits for the team and Herbalife – who will be
on hand to supply the players with healthy snacks and drinks.
The Jason Roberts
Independent Football Academy is also holding open trials for its next intake of
potential elite young football players on Friday 25th February for
the under 12, 13, 14 and 15’s and on Saturday 26th February for the
under 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11’s. Registration is between 9 – 9.45 am and the
trials start at 10 am. For further information email jasonroberts@live.co.uk.
The trials will be
held at Stonebridge Recreation Ground, Harlesden NW10 8LW nearest tube: Harlesden
or Stonebridge Park, Bakerloo line.

I was quoted £500 for the season to play in the harrow league. Without Peter Krillou the
place was not the same. The problem there is, they took the fun out of football at the under 8 level. Now they are holding kids back by playing them in older agegroups and if a top academy came looking at the kids, it would be hard for him to know the youngers from the kids who are supposed to be in the age group.
