their choice to train with.
Players and their technical team attended the training clinic, which took at least two hours.
Blue Rangers, who were knocked out of the tournament in the first round, chose to conduct their training clinic at Prince Edward and their coach Partson Ndambambi conducted the training.
Ndabambi took about 30 minutes to go through the drills with the youngsters who were impressed by what they learnt from the Rangers gaffer.
Leeroy Mangwanya, captain of the Under-15 side, was happy to rub shoulders with the Premiership players and learning from a top coach.
“It’s an honour to be awarded such an opportunity,” said Mangwanya.
“We get to see these players from the terraces and training alongside them today will motivate me to do well.
“It’s a great experience and I have learnt such techniques like pressing the ball, keeping position and supporting my team-mates,” added Mangwanya.
Mangwanya, who is in Form Two and was influential last season when the Prince Edward U-15 won the Super8 league, feels all teams from the Premiership should take turns to train the schools. This thing should be done on rotational basis where all teams in the top-flight should come and train us.
“We get a chance to learn from different coaches which helps us to improve our game,” said Mangwanya.
Takudzwa Muskwe, who was part of the VW Under-13 team that went to Poland last year, was happy with the experience and wants the clinics to be conducted on a regular basis.
“It was a good experience training with the big guys from the Premier League and it should be done more often.
“I would love one day to see the Dynamos coach come and train us because I support DeMbare.”
Ndabambi lauded the training clinics and believes they will go a long way in shaping these youngsters carriers.
“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity and it inspires them watching players whom they only see in action,” said Ndabambi.
“These are different levels of coaching and their school coaches can pick different methods of doing things which can improve their type of play.
“It has to be a permanent thing where structures should be put in place for talent identification,” added Ndabambi.
