Spring Meadow Edutainment, the arm of Meadow Hall Group that focuses on nurturing creativity in children, teamed up with Daniel Amokachi to host the Meadow Hall Summer Football Camp 2018.
The 6-day camp, open to children from 5 to 17 years, commenced on Monday, 23rd July and finished on Saturday, 28th July 2018 at the Mead Green Turf, Meadow Hall, Lekki, Lagos. The camp opened with Daniel Amokachi receiving the participants and discussing with them his expectations for the week ahead.
The camp was packed with intensive training sessions and real case studies to aid the children develop professional football skills such as dribbling, shooting, heading, tackling, team work, ball control and throwing, amongst others. There were also tons of bonding and warm up sessions and other engaging activities that kept the children intrigued and excited to learn throughout the camp.
The campers also enjoyed one-on-one sessions with Daniel “The Bull” Amokachi, an outstanding former Super Eagles player, Olympic Gold Medallist and current Manager of Finnish football club, JS Hercules. The camp’s activities were very well thought out, building on the successes of the first two editions.
The first edition held at Christmas time in 2016 and was appropriately tagged “Meadow Hall Christmas Soccer Camp with Daniel Amokachi” while the second edition held in the summer of 2017; Meadow Hall Summer Football Camp with Daniel Amokachi. Being the third edition of the camp, Meadow Hall vastly improved the offering and quality of experience for the participants – this was ensured by the synergy between Meadow Hall and Daniel Amokachi in grooming the new generation of football stars.
Commenting on the successful Meadow Hall Summer Football Camp, Daniel Amokachi believes the programme increased the participants’ enthusiasm for the game and is delighted in the improvements he saw over the course of the camp, which he believes will stand them in good stead for the future. He continues,‘our ultimate goal is to raise world-class football stars, hence the idea of identifying them early and ensuring they understand the fundamentals of the game”.
Mrs. Kehinde Nwani, Founder/CEO of Meadow Hall Group is delighted about the success of the Meadow Hall Summer Football Camp 2018 and commends the organising team, Daniel Amokachi, the participants, parents and the media and corporate partners for being a part of it. “At Meadow Hall, we believe children have multiple intelligences and we are very serious and focused on developing them. I am very glad and thankful to all who participated in one way or the other- students, parents, sponsors, the organising team and our able coach, Daniel Amokachi’
The camp rounded off with a closing ceremony that was attended by the participants, parents, media partners and members of the public. The attendees watched the children compete while showcasing the skills they garnered over the course of the camp. Certificates of participation were awarded to the campers, including performance reports and free footballs for the participants.
One of the journalists at the ceremony, Mr. Adeniyi Adunola of Leadership Newspaper commented on the performance of a set of twin boys who participated in the Meadow Hall Summer Football Camp, “I can see the spirit of football in Caleb and Joshua, they needed to be specially nurtured”. Mr. Gbenga Samuel, Head of the Meadow Hall Sports Academy, also hinted that the school is planning a football experience trip to Barcelona in April, 2019.
