Former Caps United star, Size Torindo has launched the YK Galaxy Soccer Academy, at Standard Chartered Sports Club.
The Academy is sister to his Canada-based YK Galaxy Soccer Academy, in Yellowknife.
Torindo said he is overjoyed by how his dream of helping young people to also full fill their dreams has come true
“I am happy that, after spending the last 19-years in Canada, my dream of giving opportunities to youngsters, is coming up.
“The idea is to open doors, for local players to move abroad through scholarships, and I am very hopeful that it will be fine.,” said Torindo.
He added that he have been collaborating with some of Caps former players as well as doing a lot of groundwork in Glen Norah.
“We have been collaborating with Oscar Motsi, and Eric Aisam, among several other former players.
“After I returned back home, some ten months ago, I have been impressed and I will be on the ground to see how the project progress.
“We have been working with a lot of juniors, and we have been assisting them with equipment and today’s (yesterday) launch makes us official, and we hope to extend our recruitment drive out of Gen Norah and Highfield,” added Torindo
Torindo, said they were expecting good results out of the project, which he runs with his son Dillon, who is also based in Canada.
“We have got quite a big group of about 30 players, from the age groups of eight years, to 17 years.
