Hi there! Checked out our blog and I found dust and cobwebs all over the place. I haven't posted anything here since June 1 and I owe all of you photos and updates from Cavite Football Academy and Cavite Football Association.
First on the line, Cavite Football Association held the CAFA All-Girls 3rd Unity Cup at the Football Field of Philippine Christian University.
And the winners are:
Champion: Cavite Football United FC
1st Runner-Up: Flame Utd Cherifer FC
2nd Runner-Up: Congressional Integrated High School
It has been a full two-month summer of football for our U15 players, with opportunities playing in different cups and leagues. Part of their preparation and development is their team training, three times a week.
Official game will be on June 29, 2019. It will be against National Capital Region Football Association at 8 AM. Venue is at the Football Pitch of Vermosa Sports Hub, Imus City.
And in the younger age groups, U13 and U11, our players have been very active playing this summer. They have had the busiest schedule, I think, in the Academy. All's worth it as they continue to bring in pride and fame for Cavite Football.
And here are the photos from the group, courtesy of Dandy Cervantes:
It has been awhile since we posted something about our Cavite Football Academy (CFA) here. Last night, I realized I've talked about several events here, promoted another club from Cavite and of course, Youth Football League.
Let me share to you what a CFA Training Day like for our youth and the parents as well. I'm blogging thru my small phone, pardon some typos if I may miss them. Venue and Schedule
CFA regularly practices at the Philippine Christian University-Dasmarinas football field every Saturday, from 8 AM to 12 NN. The football field is located in the middle of a lush and verdant area of the campus. During summer, it is filled with bright green vegetation with the brown dry ground which serves as our academy players' canvas for painting their signature moves and sweat-driven football drills and games.
The entrance to field is a non-cemented road that can be tricky for the novice. One needs to be aware of what one is stepping on. A misstep could mean a sprain or worse, a broken ankle.
Once you have maneuvered through the entrance, you arrive at the tent where you can find white monoblock chairs and tables where morning lugaw is sold. Its a good place to fill.your tummy with food and get you ready for the day ahead. Near the tent area is an elevation and another spot, a better one I think, for those who would.love to see the action on a wider view. On this spot, one will appreciate the vastness of the field. You can bring your own chair and other must-have for a better waiting experience namely: umbrella, water supply, food supply and a pillow.
To your left you will find a long line of banana trees acting like a fence for the field and for stray footballs. On your right, the opposite of square, are tall trees that varies: mangoes and other trees I can't identify for now. Beyond this side is a big patch of land, a good hiking area for those who wants to have a peaceful walk. Take note: lots of bugs and insects which I find to be pleasant.
At the far end of the field is, I was told, where you can find vegetation and a place to buy cheap, healthy vegetables. They sell, during harvest, ampalaya, patola and sitaw. The choices must be varied but so far those three veggies are the ones I've seen bought by mothers.
For first timers, I recommend you walk around the area and try to familiarize yourself.with the place.
In the months of August to early February, the greens become greener, the grass grows longer and the place even becomes a haven for people like.me who.loves to stay outdoors. The "probinsya vibe" is very much around.
On a perfect day you can sit back, relax and enjoy the action played on the field by our players. You can have a great time exchanging stories about the players, football and.tournament results and schedule with other parents and guardians as well.
All this time, CFA coaches and players are grinding it out for their next game.
On a Saturday morning, when the sun is out and the guys are on the field, one can learn much about the football game and about nature. CFA has given the kids a place to learn football and commune with nature. I wouldn't want it any other way around.
Shout out to all the parents and guardians supporting our CFA blog by sending photos, videos and updates. These are the people who give support and prepare our players for games and tournaments. Hats off to all.of you CFA parents and guardians!
Here is another compilation of photos and videos from our CFA Training Day, June 1, 2019:
I created this video two weeks courtesy of the parents who have been very supportive about CFA's blog. I've been holding back in posting and sharing this video because I wanted to have the official results of the 6th Carmeltown Football Cup.
But I couldn't wait any longer. So here it is, a compilation of photos and videos of the Cavite Football Academy Teams for Carmeltown Football Cup:
You may visit my Youtube chanel at The Brown Man Diary for more football, basketball and chess videos I made.

Coach Lee and the Kids
As young as their club is, we can see a potential in the club's growth in terms of membership and organization's direction. With the steady increase of the game's popularity in the City, I am casting my hope and support to IUFC's success.
Here are the tournaments and rankings they have played in the last six months:
