Dempo Duo Plan An Academy In Goa
Following the footsteps of Jose Baretto and Beto, Dempo duo of Mahesh
Gawli and Climax Lawrence are planning to come up with an Academy in
Goa.
The Indian internationals have been mulling over this project for long
and now have former Vasco SC coach Elvis Goes to accompany them.
Speaking to Goal.com, Climax said, "I believe we lack in youth
development and we want to give something back to the society. As I
learned under my coach Micky Rebello back then as a kid, I want others
also to get this chance.
"Elvis Goes is with us and we hope to make our plans public soon."
The famous Chowgule Sports Complex which has the only artificial turf in
India shall be from where the Academy is expected to work.
"We shall operate from the Chowgule Complex. We want to give youngsters
a platform wherein they shall be given speed and agility training
coupled with footballing lessons. The age group would be from 6-12 and
12-16," said Elvis.
Assisting the trio are Climax's brother Covan Lawrence and ex-footballer
Richie Sanchez.
