Greensprings School has disclosed that it has started preparations to mark 10 years of transforming lives through the Kanu Football Camp, which will hold from April 7 to 12, 2024.
According to the school, as usual, the participants will be coached by top football trainers from Europe and Nigeria, while the camp’s most promising player(s) will be awarded a full academic scholarship to study at Greensprings School.
This announcement was made by the Chief Strategy Officer of the school, Mr Uche Ogbu, who said: “The Greensprings Kanu Football Camp has become a hallmark event, and its impacts have been felt at the state and national level. The European coaches we invite have trained over 200 Lagos State coaches, who have gone on to impact the lives of children at the grassroots level.
“Also, five alumni of the camp have featured in the U-17 team of Nigeria at some point, with the recent being the inclusion of Light Eke and Jubril Azeez in the 2023 squad for U-17 AFCON.
“Moreover, in the previous nine editions, over 2000 children have been trained and 13 children have been granted full scholarships to study at Greensprings School.”
On what to expect from the camp’s 10th edition, Ogbu said it promises to be even more captivating, thus advising parents to register their wards for the life-changing experience.
He said, “I encourage parents with football-loving children to register their wards. The football camp would be a great opportunity for children to improve their skills in various aspects of the game, including dribbling, passing, shooting, ball control, and heading.
“European coaches from the Netherlands and representatives from the Lagos State Football Association will be on ground to share their expertise and contribute to the participants’ growth. Former Nigerian footballer, Kanu Nwankwo, will also grace the occasion, providing motivational talks and inspiring the young talents to reach new heights in their football journeys.
“For parents interested in registering their wards for this transformative football camp experience, there are three participation options: residential, non-residential with bus service, and non-residential without bus service. Parents are encouraged to register their children/wards before March 7 to take advantage of the massive early bird discount.”
