The Turks & Caicos Islands Football Association (TCIFA) will be launching the Confederation of North Central American and Caribbean Association Football (CONCACAF) Grassroots Festival for Girls this weekend. The festival consists of two sections: a course and the event.

The course will take place on Saturday and Sunday, 19th – 20th July from 8:30AM – 1:00PM, with the festival being held on Monday, July 21st at 4PM. All activities will be hosted at the National Academy on Venetian Road in Providenciales.

This festival will be focused on the U-12 girls, and the TCIFA is anticipating them to turn out in large numbers. Both parents and coaches are encouraged to participate in the course, which is promised to be both educational and enlightening.

Heather Dyche, a CONCACAF Instructor, will be the lead trainer for both the course and festival. Dyche has an extensive background in football, which includes Olympic Development Director for New Mexico and various positions within the coaching field.  Dyche is currently the National Instructional Staff for the United States Soccer Federation (USSF) and currently holds a National Youth License and a USSF C license.
