Coaches of Cavite Football Academy 2019

We had our last day of player evaluation last Saturday at the Football field of PCU-Dasmarinas and our coaches had a tough time figuring out which player makes the cut. As they say, "cutting is the last resort" when a coach has to form a team out of tryout.

As a coach, it is never an easy task to announce to a group of aspiring and developing players that they didn't make the team. It never is and will never be easy to do that. Who loves rejection? Nobody right?

Coaches are given a lot of expectations and the most important of, to my opinion, is that they are looked up to by their players. If you want to know what kind of coach one is, just see how the team is behaving and acting. A lot of times, they mimic and mirror the behavior they see in their coaches.



Having said these, I would like to introduce the coaches of Cavite Football Academy for 2019:

Cavite Football Academy Blog Launch

Hi everyone!

If you stumbled upon this blog, thank you for visiting. This will, hopefully, be the place where one can find news, updates, photos and videos of Cavite Football Academy or CFA.

Cavite Football Academy is a youth sports program under the sponsorship of the Provincial Government of Cavite made possible thru the efforts of former Governor Johnvic Remulla Jr. with Coach Chieffy Caligdong as the Head of the Program in 2016. There are nine coaches from different UAAP and NCAA football teams working as assistant coaches.

The Academy started with the help of Coach Segundo Saluria Jr a.k.a. Coach Gonie with the help of CAFA with FB Pages: Cavite Football Association and here.

Player try-outs were conducted for the teams of Under 8 and Under 10 with the football field in Malagasang serving as the training venue for three months. On the fourth month, CFA transferred and used Philippine Christian University-Dasmarinas football field.

In 2018, Team Under 13 was formed giving more opportunities to youth football players from Cavite.
