17 Coach Nesta leaves for the USA We at Generation Next FC are filled with mixed emotions as we will be losing our very own Nesta, who will be off to the United States later this month to further his studies....Naturally we are excited for Nesta in his pursuit of higher academic qualifications, but selfishly, we are saddened at losing this most wonderful coach, who is admired immensely by both his players and their parents alike. It will be a difficult task for us in finding a coach fill Nesta's "boots" . We wish Nesta all the very best in his endeavours!!! There is, and always be, a placed reserved in the Generation Next FC coaching family upon his return.. by Adante Lake ….from a players mind To all readers I am Adante Lake and a proud striker for Generation Next FC. At Generation Next FC, the U13and U14 has a combine practise on Tuesdays along with some of the older division players. In addition on Saturdays we have a show case where we display our talent with matches. During practice we begin with stretches followed by drills given by our brilliant coach Zico, after that we go into miniature matches. During these matches you would think we are really two different teams because of how competitive we are, but on the inside we are all still teammates. One of the most amazing things about Generation Next FC is there affiliation with the New York Red Bulls and Stoke City Football Club. For the past year they have hosted a camp in Antigua. Everyone who participated in these camps enjoyed them and also learned new moves and skills. One of the benefits from the affiliation with these clubs always us to have continued presence of the coaches. Case in point one of the coaches of Stoke City is presently assisting and training us. During the exchange program players were given the opportunity to go to Stoke City train, and see a live Premier League match. I must ask? Isn’t that exiting! After all that is said Generation Next FC is on a league of its own. As the next great generation football club and that is why we hold a high standard in our resent tournaments. Thank you for allowing me to share my view about the game I am passionately in love with.
