As part of his visit to PEI, Toronto Argonauts scout Ted Goveia will participate in a football skills clinic with local players. The event will be held at the Stratford Soccer Complex on Saturday, March 31. Holland College Hurricanes players and prospects will take to the field first at 5:30 p.m. Local high school and bantam players are invited to join the team from 6:30 p.m. until 8 p.m.
Mark MacDougall, head coach for the Hurricanes, is looking forward to meeting the high school and bantam players.
“Part of what we want to accomplish here is strengthening the connection between the football clubs on P.E.I. and the Hurricanes program,” he said. “We want our young players to see the Hurricanes as the next step in their football development. Getting on the field with current players and learning some skills with them is a great opportunity. It is also a way for our players to give back to the younger players.”
Hurricanes Football Club president Mike O’Grady agrees.
“We are delighted to be able to invite young football players and their coaches to join us. Mr. Goveia is a wealth of information and experience, and this an opportunity for all of us to learn more not just about the game of football, but about the business of professional football as well.”
Goveia will help with the clinic and discuss what it takes to have a successful football career, from the earliest stages to the professional level. There is no charge for the clinic and no equipment is required other than cleats. For more information about the camp, please contact Mark MacDougall at [email protected].
