Meet Coach Fladimir Lima Souza, Coach Romao (Roberto Bragang Romao) from Brazil and Coach Mohan (from Malaysia). Three of them, and Head Coach Lamartine Da Silva drilled 34 boys for three days and two nights at the Outbac Centre in Broga Negeri Sembilan early December. Where? Yep, you may think that Broga is like on another planet, but it’s a beautiful valley just near Semenyih. Surrounded by hills, the Outbac camp has great views and cool weather.

It was in this camp that 34 boys aged from 6 years to 17 spent three days and two nights roughing it out and having great fun! Barbeques, Broga Hill climb at 5.30am, flying fox, kayaking, games, quizzes and a whole lot of football training and tournaments were some of the activities at the camp.

Watch the video to find out how much fun the boys and coaches had at this football camp.

Catch what Head Coach Lamartine had to say about the camp, too.
