The Grenada Football Association (GFA) is thrilled to announce that\u00a0 two of our young talented female football players are participating in the prestigious 2023 Sports\u00a0 Visitor Programme (Youth Sports and Women\u2019s Empowerment). Sponsored by the U.S.\u00a0 Department of State in collaboration with FHI 360 Global Connections, the programme is taking\u00a0 place from June 21st to July 5th in Princeton and Hightstown, New Jersey.<\/p>\n
Amelia Bubb, National U17 player and member of the Senior Women\u2019s National Team, along with\u00a0 Osean Williams, who was part of the National U15 Girls Team last year and now plays for the\u00a0 National U17 Team, departed the island on Monday to participate.<\/p>\n
The 2023 Sports Visitor Programme gathers a total of 49 participants who will engage in both on field and classroom sessions. This dynamic and experiential sports-based exchange initiative aims\u00a0 to empower female non-elite soccer players by introducing them to American excellence,\u00a0 leadership, and best practices in sports.<\/p>\n
The programme provides a fully funded two-week exchange to the United States and is open to\u00a0 athletes from the Eastern Caribbean, aged between 15 and 18. Participants will benefit from\u00a0 engaging clinics and sessions focused on leadership, teambuilding, conflict resolution, as well as\u00a0 inclusion and equity in sports. Furthermore, the program highlights how success in sports can\u00a0 transcend into achievements in academics and life beyond the field.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe participation of Amelia Bubb and Osean Williams in the 2023 Sports Visitor Programme is a\u00a0 remarkable opportunity for them to develop their skills, gain invaluable insights, and broaden\u00a0 their horizons in the realm of women\u2019s football,\u201d stated President of the GFA Marlon Glean.<\/p>\n
We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Amelia Bubb and Osean Williams for their selection\u00a0 in the 2023 Sports Visitor Programme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
