Over 200 football prospects will have a chance to impress 20 US College coaches when Gateway Athletics hosts a Player Showcase at Ball Park in Macoya on Saturday and Sunday.
Formed in 2012 as a go-between for T&T athletes and international colleges Gateway’s 2022 event has attracted coaches from Howard and Lipscomb Universities and Dartmouth College.
The programme currently has around 135 players registered – 75 are considered elite and another 60 are continuing their on-field development.
Fatima College’s Dante Cooper is ready to go but admits the lengthy dormant period has been challenging.
The Showcase is open to players between the ages of 16 and 21 throughout Trinidad and Tobago
Marc Robinson, a former St Anthony’s player, is grateful for the opportunity to make an impression. He encouraged players to show up, register and put their best foot forward this weekend.
