“This the breeding ground for the future champions and future golden Jaguars, this is about the sport, this is about being positive, this not to be dejected when we lose but this is an opportunity to shine on the field, so let’s encourage our young players to reach the best of their ability, let’s be inspirational”, de Haas stated.

Director of Petra Organisation Troy Mendonca made an appeal to parents to be supportive to the players since it is not just about winning.

Mendonca posited that “What we have observed over the years is that parents, supporters, teachers and coaches place a lot of emphasis on winning; over time it is a lot pressure being put on the youngsters “.

He further lamented that “we want to ask this year is for us to say more positive things to these youngsters instead of being harsh on them, let’s say something positive; yelling at them may cause them not wanting to play anymore and may tamper with their confidence and we want to see special effort being placed in this area”.

The organizer ended by stating that “our aim is to create the environment for you the youngsters for those of you who decided you wanted to be a footballer in life; this is environment where you can get involved to harness the skills”.

Similarly, Head of Department of Physical Education, Nicholas Fraser explained that   the players need to feel a part of the proceedings and that the sole purpose alone cannot be that of winning since they are other aspects of   children development that can be addressed.

“ Students feel apart and believe that they are getting better , it not just about, wining, it is about preparation, socialisation, stress reduction and the health benefits that the children will be receiving”, Fraser stated.

The competition will continue each Saturday until November 19th at the same venue with 24 teams battling for supremacy.
