HTT Academy discovers new talent in Bariga and Gbagada screenings

Read Time: 3 minute(s)

Following the success of the screening session in Meiran, HTT Academy extended the gospel of great grassroots football education to our other Lagos centres in Bariga and Gbagada.

The screening sessions were targeted at finding hidden gems in such environments and giving them the required tools to succeed as they strive towards their passion.

HTT Academy screening in Bariga

The Bariga screening which was held on April 9th was an exciting football talent discovery event in which key personnel of Help The Talent Football Academy were on ground to assess the talent.

37 young football stars were present in Bariga for the screening, they were put through their paces with a series of tests and trials by the HTT Academy coaches.

13 of those were selected as the outstanding bunch who will be integrated into HTT Academy\’s robust calendar and schedule.

Teenagers mostly between the ages of 14 and 17 were identified for their talent which will now be worked on and refined by HTT Academy\’s world-class training pool.

The screening in Gbagada was similarly a huge success with a massive turnout of youngsters hoping to impress and earn a shot at actualising their dreams.

44 kids in total were present to try out in Gbagada of which 11 standout players were selected to further their craft with HTT Academy.

The selected children will be integrated into HTT Academy\’s existing program across three Lagos centres which you can be a part of by sponsoring.

The good work HTT Academy is doing in Meiran also extends to other parts of Lagos and you are encouraged to donate to keep the dream alive.

HTT Academy currently functions with three centres in Lagos, Nigeria that are run in partnerships with schools because we care about academics just as much as football.

Each centre is active two days a week with at least two coaches always on hand to oversee training sessions and take care of the selected students.
