OTTAWA (HOL) ----Dozens of jubilant parents for young soccer stars have flooded into Moon’s Bay picnic park on Sunday to celebrate their boys’ exciting year in which their teams have effectively completed months-long tournament in Ottawa.
The Surad Youth Soccer Club (SYSC), a locally organized football club is one of the few success stories and aims producing talent soccer players.
At the picnic park, buoyant Somali parents have appreciated children’s coaches for the hard work, describing the tournament as ‘progressive’.
The tournament which brought together 4 different age teams has drawn the attention of the Somali community in Canada, a development which many believe could slot in many already disorientated children who are vulnerable to joining criminal activities.
In the meantime, the three coaches who were crucial in keeping the young footballers on the pitch have urged them to keep the momentum. Mr. Abdirizak Shiino , Mr. Keyse and Mr. Said Arwo have expressed hope in drawing more children into the association.
Founded in 2012, The Surad Youth Soccer Club (SYSC) has brought over 100 underage footballers under its umbrella, in an indication that the club is rapidly growing.
