Football Scene: The Pros and The Youth

In case you missed it, either by having too much on your plate, or life has been crazy or you've been all over the place, Philippine Football League gets a reboot and they are now calling it Philippine Premier League.

Surprisingly, hush-hush turns into buzz and the buzzing can only be read between the lines. Le' me share ABS-CBN's Football: Philippine Premier Leaguer eplaces PFL.

As always, I wish our Philippine Football to continue moving forward in favor of youth development. If you will remember, Philippine Football Federation is looking for people to help them in the coaches and youth development.

Education is the key if we want to improve on anything.

Holler if you agree!

And with that, I'd like to share some of the tournament announcements we've been passing around in our CFA Chat Group:

In the other Age-groups, our CFA Team Born '07-08 won four games and lost 3 in the Born 2007 Division. It's good to note that some of the members of this team are Southern Tagalog CALABARZON Athletic Association and this serves a one of a series of tune-up tournaments for the boys.

Congratulations CFA and thank you to everyone who made it possible for our players to participate and be prepared for the Second Festival of Schools and Clubs Football Association. Special mention to the following for sending us photos, results and updates in today's games: Ms MeRiam, Coach Segundo "Gonie" Segundo Saluria Jr., Mr. Angelo Corsiga Guengon and Ms Victoria Ayala.

Talent Search: 2 Players for CFA

Cavite Football Academy is looking for two more players for Team Born 2005. Remember, CFA maintains three (3) teams, Born 2005, Born 2007 & Born 2009 with  twenty (20) players for each.

After the two-day tryout, there were only eighteen players who made it to Team Born 2005. Philippine Football Federation's Festival of Football will be hosted by Laguna Province and it's happening in March this year. Cavite Teams will be represented by CFA for the following categories: U-15, U-13 and U-11.

So if you, or someone you know has this love for the game, commitment to train, and the skills, please visit CFA and join the training-tryout every Saturday, 8 AM to 12 NN at Philippine Christian University-Dasmarinas City.

BTW, here are some videos I found on YouTube that gives tips on Youth Football Tryouts:

And one more:

Remember to pray for everyone's safety and guidance!

   

Training Weekend 1: Snaps, Videos & Animations

I had a chance take some photos last weekend during the training and I'm sharing it here. By the way, CFA is maintaining three (3) teams with the following age-groups: Under 15, Under 13 and Under 11.

Did you know that these lucky football players are considered scholars of the Provincial Government of Cavite?

CFA a.k.a. Governor Jonvic Remulla Jr Football Academy provides these hardworking and talented footballers the following:

• Year-round football training 
• Participation in several PFF-sanctioned tournaments, invitationals and CFA-sponsored events
• Transportation services for training and tournament activities
• Football kits
• Monthly rice allowance

One important requirement for a player to qualify to the program is one must be a resident of the province.

I created a collage of the photos here:

And for those who wishes to have these photos saved per frame, it's right here:

"A photo opp before I get back to keeping"

(The big boys of CFA)

View from the upper deck wink! wink!

"Ready for the test!"

"C'mon coach!"

"And that's how the Grinch stole Christmas eve!"

"We're listening, at least we look like we are!"

"I'm wearing stripes while you all aren't!

"Those who didn't get a visit from Santa, please go to my right and for those who did, you may go now"  

And an animation I made from one of the features of Google photos App:

2nd Festival of Schools and Clubs Football Association

Our CFA players for Born '07, '08 & '09 will be playing in the 2nd Festival of Schools and Clubs Football Association in Marikina City.  Game day is on Sunday, January 13, 2019,  hosted by Marist School and participated in by different schools and football clubs from Metro Manila and neighboring cities from CALABARZON.

From what I gathered, CFA teams made a great impression during the 1st Festival and I quote from one of the parents I talked to:

"Sabi nga ng mga parents sa amin, marurunong na pala mag-football ang mga tiga-Cavite!"  

and he adds:

"Yung CFA Under 10 walang talo yun last time (1st festival)" 

So yes, good luck boys and make your Academy proud! Play on!

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:

Second Part of Try-outs for 2019 CFA Teams

On January 5, 2019, Saturday at PCU-Dasmarinas Football Field, Cavite Football Academy will have its second day of try-out and player evaluation for current players. The first part of the try outs happened last month, December 22 and on the side, we had our Christmas party.

Some snaps I grabbed from our private FB chat group. Thanks to everyone for the photos and chit-chats. With lots of photos to choose from, here's my pathetic attempt at summing up our CFA Christmas Party using Spark Adobe.

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.
