I've been meaning to write a short note about a Coerver four day training camp with coaches and players from Australia, New Zealand and Japan that was held in Canberra last week, finishing on Sunday. My son attended and thoroughly enjoyed himself and from the sidelines it looked like most of the 300 kids did too. The kids ranged in age from about 5 through to 16, boys and girls, and there really was some talent on display. The coaching was high quality across the board and Chelsea legend Charlie Cooke was in attendance for the whole four days. Some of these kids had amazing skills, and I look forward to watching some of them graduate to the professional ranks in the years to come.

Totally agree.
