In line with growing demand from many mommies and daddies , we have taken a decision to heed the call and answer to many pleas from concerned parents.
In doing so, we have combined a formidable team of experienced and knowledgeable individuals , comprising of top coaching and scouting personnel, ex professional footballers, qualified sports administrators and fellow football enthusiats to put together what we proudly call Vaal River City United, a football nursery meant to nurture young individuals from age 5 to 12.
This initiative has been taken, in order to:
- Build holistic individuals who will serve their community and country with pride.
- distance our children from the social ills that may impact them negatively.
- introduce the game of football to all young children between the ages of 5- 12 years.
- lay a solid foundation in players’ football skills for future careers in sports
- expose children to the game of football in order to identify the talent & develop it accordingly.
This project has bas been well thought of and put together by individuals who have passion for kids, football and life in general.
