It has been months since I last posted here at the Cavite Football Academy blog. So much has happened since July up to this day. So let's round them up and be impressed with what our guys have been accomplishing while I gather these dust and cobwebs on our blog.
PCU-Dasmarinas High School Team. RIFA 2019-2020 Finalist.
PCU-Dasmarinas High School Football Team is playing in the Championship game of the Rizal Football Association (RIFA). RIFA is one of the toughest football tournaments in the country and to play in the finals says a lot about the program in PCU.
Bacoor City Meet Champions. Team UPHSD-Molino 2019-2020.
Fun times!
In Bacoor City DEPED Sports Meet, the University of Perpetual Help-Molino High School wins the gold and so is the Lyceum University of the General Trias City. In Imus City, Elizabeth Seton-South wins the gold for High School while Governor D.M. Camerino wins their back-to-back championship in the Elementary division. These teams will represent the Cities of Bacoor, General Trias, and Imus respectively, either in the Provincial Meet or straight to the Regionals, STCAA.

In the Season 2 of Speed Regalo-Youth Football League, players from around Metro Manila and neighboring provinces are having the time of their lives as they play for their clubs. Although the scheduling is truly heavy, Sundays and Saturdays have games, YFL has continued to provide the much needed year-round football competitions for our budding athletes.
Meanwhile, Cavite Football Academy, its players, coaches, and parents, visited the Governor's Office and presented their achievements to Governor Jonvic Remulla. Here are some photos I got from our group.

The Local Government of Province of Cavite has one of the most efficient models for football development in the country. Much can be learned from this.
The past weekend showed us how volatile life can be. One big news after another came in thru my social media accounts. Here they are, one by one.

My former student, Xavi Zubiri, scores the lone goal in the UAAP Men's Football Q'FINALS encounter against Far Eastern University.
My news feed was flooded with #football #dlsu #finalfour and so I checked for any videos online and here's what I found:

The weekend games at Speed Regalo Youth Football League continues at the Alabang Country Club. Visit these links to get the updates of standings for each age groups:
The Youth Football League, on its third year, has become, and remains to be, the elite youth league in the country. It won't be surprising for UAAP and NCAA teams to "fish out" players from here. Divisions U15 and U17 are the feeder age groups for them.
Every weekend, when I set foot at the ACC grounds, I am in awe of the relevance of the league to the grassroots development of football in the country. Always!

And just when I was about to wrap up my weekend, coming from my son's training with GAU, J, another former student of mine who has worked professionally with a football club from the north, that something's happening, something is coming out.
Then I followed up with J, and all he said was "Yes Mr Francis, it's really happening..."
But the next few public statements made were hopeful.
Let's see what happens next.
As for me, I'll be glad to see football played in the youth section, in the scholastic level. If it must be, then let the collegiate football show us first how exciting this beautiful game can be.
