North Vancouver’s European Football School came to Quesnel on the weekend to help kids start the season off in proper form.
Fifty-five kids, age 9-18, attended last weekend – the first time the school has come to Quesnel. Saibo Talic, the school’s head coach, was impressed with the kids at the camp.
“This group is very good – lots of potential,” Talic said.
The kids were just as happy with the camp according to Gilbert Schotel, one of the directors for the Quesnel Youth Soccer Association (QYSA).
Schotel was happy with the attendance at the camp, ten over the 45 kids they were shooting for and the quality of instruction.
“He definitely challenges them but he mixes it up so the kids have fun,” Schotel said.
The camp came up to Quesnel as a result of rave reports from some of the players who attended the camp in Williams Lake.
With the facilities here, both the QYSA and Talic thought it was time to bring the school a little farther north.
Now kids from Williams Lake are coming up to Quesnel to attend the camp. A few kids even came up from Abbortsford for the camp, Schotel said.
With the success of the camp, the QYSA plans on bringing Talic back in the summer for a longer one-week camp.
