Following a two-week long training in Advanced coaching at the Ghana Sports College in Winneba, Ghana, five Liberian coaches have been awarded certificates.

 The coaches, Clarence Lee Chea, Gborboe Glinwon and Patrick Julue of DISM-BFC and David Nimely were the four coaches awarded certificates of distinction having performed admirably at the seminar.

 Gotolo Johnson was the other Liberian coach who received certificate of participation at the coaching seminar.

 Specialized FIFA coaching instructors drawn from across Europe and Ghana spearheaded the training exercises.

 Dorkpah International Sports Management (DISM) based in Minnesota, USA, sponsored coaches Clarence Lee Chea, Gborboe Glinwon and Patrick Julue who represented Buduburam Football Club at the seminar.

 
The Administrator of the Ghana Sports College, former Black Coach Fred Osam Duodou has meanwhile recommended that the four coaches who received distinctions be further trained in Germany and Denmark.

 Mr. Duodou in his ultimate remarks acknowledged the productivity of the Liberian coaches and has forwarded his nominations to the Danes and German FAS where they will be trained later this year.

 Speaking to Liberian soccer via telephone yesterday, Coach Lee confided that DISM has agreed to bankroll the travel of its coaches to Denmark and Germany for the International course.

 “An estimated amount of $7,000 dollars to facilitate our travel to Europe has been allocated by the Management of DISM and we’re grateful to them for the initiative”, he fathomed.

 Coach Lee, who didn’t conclude on the actual date for the International training, however indicated that an additional $5,000 has been set aside for Buduburam Football Club by DISM.

 He noted that the funds, which will cover a large portion of the team participation in the 2003 Ghanaian Division II League, would help reinforce their chances of qualification to the First Division.

 DISM, according to Coach Lee, has also acquired 15 acres of fresh land near Buduburam to be modernized into their home pitch as part of the package for 2003.

 For the past few years, DISM has been involved with the promotion of gifted Liberian talents and has over 20 potentials players now in its fold.

 The like of Francis Doe, the 17 year-old that made headways in Cameroon and in the 2002 CAF Cup and England, Ben Teekloh recently recalled by Lone Star, Joseph Pailey, Christian Essel and Zah Krangar now playing in Cameroon are samples of their trades.
