The first phase of training will be in U-13 and U-16 categories
Children of Sports Division training at Kunnamkulam Senior Ground
Kunnamkulam: The sports minister V. said that a football academy will be started in collaboration with football player Baichung Bhutia in the Kunnamkulam sports division under the sports department. Expectations are high on Abdurrahiman’s announcement. The main attraction is the grass field in the senior ground under Government Model Boys Higher Secondary School.
Following the Sports Minister’s announcement, Baichung Bhutia Football Academy Manager Rakesh Radhakrishnan Sr. visited the ground and assessed the facilities. He also inquired about the details of the children who were admitted in the sports division of the grounds and hostels.
The building constructed for the sports medicine center was also seen. With the coming of the Academy, the Kunnamkulam Sports Division can attract the best kids who are interested in football. The advantage is that you will also get the services of the best coaches.
The minister noted on social media that collaborating with Bhutia’s academy will be very beneficial for Kerala football and the best players can be found and promoted to the national level. According to the minister’s note, all support has been assured to Bhutia and his team and the academy will start functioning at the end of this month after completing the process. In the first phase, the training will be in Under-13 and Under-16 categories.
Although there is a grass field, there are many limitations in the related facilities in the senior ground. Although money has been sanctioned for the sports hostel, the construction has not started. The tender process for this needs to be expedited. The sports medicine center lacks equipment and staff including doctors.
The education and sports departments should consult and take decisions regarding the selection of children for the academy, their studies and training. A final decision has not been taken to start the construction of the swimming pool and fitness center for ancillary training. It is hoped that with the arrival of the football academy, the steps to address the existing limitations will be speeded up.
