Birkirkara FC organised a seminar for its youth academy coaches at Savio College, Dingli, earlier this month. The main speakers were head coach Paul Zammit and Mark Bondin, the academy’s director of youth coaching.

Youth development was the main topic of the seminar which served as a platform for the Birkirkara youth coaches to discuss the situation of Maltese football and the vision of the academy whose mission is to prepare young players for senior-team football.

The seminar kicked off with a practical session that was led by Claude Cuschieri, of Coerver Coaching.

This was followed by a presentation from Bondin and an address from Zammit.

Over the past months, the Birkirkara Academy underwent many changes with a view to improving its set-up.

Under the guidance of Bondin, the academy appointed the coaches for all age groups ahead of the new season.

A nutritionist, fitness trainer and goalkeepers coach have also been recruited.
