The BWFCISS in April went to Nigeria home of our own BWFC Legend Jay Jay Okacha, we visited the Youth Academy of C.O.D United with two Coaches, Mick Wild and Mark Willis who saw a great deal of raw talent and enthusiasm.
The camp came about after Dave had a brief chat with Shola from C.O.D about the possibility of BWFC hosting a camp in Nigeria several months ago and now to see it has finally happened as been very rewarding for all involved.
Mick Wild commented;
“I have coached all over the world and have to say this is the best experience coaching I have ever had, the reputation of the people in Nigeria does get bad press but they have been first class in organisation and how well myself and mark have been treated. Turning up to have 4000 Nigerians greet you when I did my presentation was truly a moment I will never forget. The players had a great attitude and focus they gave it their all everyday..well done to them and Shola for all their efforts.”
The camp was the first of what BWFCISS hope will be many and you never know we might find our next Jay Jay.
