Caribbean American Chamber (CACCTB) with the help of an anonymous Caribbean donor received twenty (20) new No.5 soccer balls, two (2) pumps and needles, and two (2) ball bags to help “kick-off” the start of a Caribbean Under-12 coed soccer program organized by the Caribbean Community Association (CCA – 501c3). President of the Chamber met with the head coach of the soccer program Mr. Coswell Jackson to hand over the donated equipment.
Mr. Jackson was elated to receive the much needed equipment and that the soccer program gets under way in the first week of March 2010. In discussion, Mr. Jackson mentioned that the program is still seeking (6prs) of shin guards, two (2) soccer goal nets (8’ x 6’) and $300.00 to assist (4) registrants.
The equipment was supplied by local soccer apparel store Soccer Field near the University of South Florida (USF), Tampa, Florida. The Chamber will continue to support and assist with the efforts of providing the soccer equipment and other needs for the coed soccer program. Eddie Oyakhilome of EJJE Soccer Academy has offered to assist in providing supporting training programs.
