4 deserving kids at this year’s Grand Bahama soccer camp will be getting their sporting experience of a lifetime this August! To mark the 10th year of the island’s best-supported summer camp, the English Premier League is going to treat the youngsters to an all-expenses-paid trip to Miami to watch two of the world’s best pro teams in action.

The cream of European soccer will shortly be served up for four deserving young Grand Bahamian sports fans.

The quartet, chosen from among the attendees of this year’s Sir Jack Hayward English Premier League Soccer Camp, will be traveling to Miami on an all-expenses-paid trip to watch two top teams fight it out for the prestigious Guinness Champions Cup.

The two will be the survivors of an eight-team tournament being played in cities across the US and include this year’s Premier League winners and runners up, Manchester City and Liverpool; the Greek Super League champions Olympiakos; and Roma, Italian league runners up.

Other teams taking part include the iconic duo Manchester United, claimed by many to be the most famous soccer club in the world, and Real Madrid, winner of the Spanish league 32 times.

The final takes place at the Sun Life Stadium in Miami on August 4 and in the enthusiastic crowd will be four children chosen from among the between 100 and 200 kids expected to attend the camp. They will be selected by professional visiting coaches for their all-round attitude during the week-long event.

“It won’t just be their personal skills being judged. It will be their sportsmanship and their ability to be team players. Soccer is a team sport and being able to contribute positively to your team is a key competence,” said camp organiser Richard Malcolm.

“This is the 10th year of what has become the most popular summer camp on the island and we wanted to mark that fact with something special for the kids to strive for. The English Premier was more than happy to help us achieve that end by supporting this trip.

“Anyone in Freeport who subscribes to cable or satellite TV can watch top-class soccer at home. Going to such a game in the flesh is a wholly different experience not available in the Bahamas and the four who are going to be chosen will find it mind-blowing."

“The key is that you have to be at the camp if you want to get this chance. That means signing up in the next month.”

The camp is hosted as usual by the Freeport Rugby and Football Club at the club’s fields in East Settlers Way. It takes place from June 23 to June 27 and will offer a range of goodies, including top-class international coaches and two full uniforms to use during the camp and to keep afterwards.

Registration is already underway and forms are available from this website (SEE BELOW) as well as at www.rugbyfootballbahamas.com Completed forms can be handed in at Town and Country, Yellow Pine Street; Animale, at Port Lucaya Marketplace; or at the club in the evenings.
