JFF Introduces Confederation Clinics for Under 13 and Under 15

In the continuation of its policy to raise and standardize the levels of coaching in football, the Jamaica Football Federation will be introducing Confederation Clinics as part of the Annual Under 13 and Under 15 competitions this year.

Five players from each age group from each parish will attend a specially organized Confederation Clinic. The players which can include girls from the Under 13 level will be chosen by the parish coaches. Importantly the Clinics will be conducted by the top six performing Coaches from each Confederation who graduated from the JMMB/JFF/Coaching School Advanced Level II Course held in February held under Costa Rican coach Rodrigo Kenton. The process will be assisted by JFF National Coordinators. Hence a maximum of one hundred and sixty players will be involved.

In a preparatory meeting with the coaches from the Coaching School earlier this month JFF General Secretary urged them to use every opportunity given by the Federation to utilize the skills imparted at the coaching school. He also urged them to feel free to attend training sessions of the national teams as part of their continuing education programme.

The Federation sees the clinics as part of its overall technical development drive. The clinics will provide the youngsters with good exposure, afford national coordinators an early assessment of the country’s youth talent in the respective confederations and provide a platform to assess some of our coaches that graduated from the new JMMB/JFF/UTech coaching initiative. The first clinic will be held tomorrow, July 20, 2010 in KSAFA.

The Schedule for these clinics is as follows:

Locker Room Sports is partnering with the JFF on this initiative as according to David Shirley, Managing Director, Locker Room Sports is committed to any effort to develop the game especially at the youth level
