Nigeria League Management is set to kick start U15 football league in 2017

From the man of the Moment:

The League management of Nigeria has their plan set to kick start the U15 football league in 2017!

THE U15 Youth League as you know we are working with Laliga to put it together and the overall objective is to get the clubs to jumpstart their Youth Programs.

Indeed, we have taking note of the School calendar and thus the project is PRELIMINARY planned subject to further amendments to take place on this format.

1. The 20 clubs have been divided into 4 groups.

2. Each club would be required to form an U15 team principally comprising of kids within their catchments area.

3. Each team would be required to appoint an U15 coaches by Jan/Feb 2017. Our advise here is for clubs to appoint much younger coaches to head this department for obvious reasons so we can also use this to build a new generation of coaches.

4. LaLiga would send in experts by Feb/march 2017 to train this U15 coaches on specific of youth players coaching, scouting and Management. You know this is also a speciality field.

5. By march 2017 clubs would have had their teams set up with trained coaches managing them and indeed having their trainings and preparations.

6. By April 2017, when the schools would have been on holidays, the league competition will take place with each of the 4 groups of the clubs converging at a neutral venue to play a round robin league and the top two from each group goes to the quarter final, then we play the semi finals and the finals to have winners. We can all actualized this within one month. We can also structure the quarter finals, semi finals and finals to be opening matches for some of the top league matches and some might be on TV.

7. During the tournament LaLiga would send out scouts to Look at the boys and also assist the club coaches technically. We believe also our U17 coaches and also the clubs scouts would be looking.

8. At the end an Allstar Team of the U15 will be selected across all the clubs and would LIKELY in the summer be taking to Spain to play in the LaLiga PROMISAS tournament comprising the U15 teams of all the top clubs in Spain among other clubs invited globally.

9. With this done and the possibilities we would be jumpstarting our NPFL youth league and by next season we would see how to increase the numbers.
