Kakamega School is set to host an elite football holiday camp in August 2019.

According to the press statement released by The Green Commandos Sports Club, at least 100 football players and 50 football coaches will land in Kakamega town for the event that will be staged at Kakamega High School.

The event will be spearheaded by coaches from internationally-Acclaimed football academy Edukick.

It will run for two weeks between 4th and 18th of August 2019 with former Real Sociedad tactician Roberto Navajas as the head of the training team.

Green Commandos Sports Club chairman Isaac Kwoba said that the training sessions for coaches will run in the first week while youths will be trained for the entirety of the event.

Youths in categories U11, U12, U13, U14, U15, U17, and U19 will be mainly targeted by the program.

“The development of young players is at the core of the club, with our primary objective of ensuring that the very best young players in Kakamega and its environs have a clear playing pathway of progressing through the existing underage structure and into professional football,” said Kwoba

The Chairman also said that registration will be on the first-come-first-admitted basis and they would not accommodate more than the envisaged number of 100 players and 50 coaches.

“Being a full-board camp, we have to keep the numbers within the limit so as to avoid challenges around logistics. We are urging those interested in the camp to try and book their slots early,” he added.

Kakamega high school old boys Simon Mulama, Ronnie Watsiera, Peter Ouma and Mike Otieno, among others, will be part of the camp.
