 Nassau, Bahamas- Lyford Cay Dragons Football Club hosted their first ever coaching camp with over 120 boys and girls, aged 4-16, enjoying up to 3 days of extensive coaching with some of the top football coaches from the ‘Elite Soccer Academy’ based in New Jersey, United States.

The Dragons Football Club extended the invitation for the camp to players from their own teams and also players from a number of other teams and schools in Nassau. The players greatly benefited from the weekend course as the coaching staff excelled at helping the players learn and improve their football playing skills, as well as helping to enforce a sense of teamwork, dedication, and responsibility.
