Following the National Team’s last training session on the night of February 16th, players, staff and executive members gathered for final goodbyes and words of encouragement. The team, scheduled to depart to Nassau on Saturday, February 18th, were also presented with their travel gear and national team kits.
“I would like to thank Coach Bryan for preparing the team, both mentally and physically. I am so grateful to the players who have taken time away from school, work and their personal lives. I am even more grateful that these players have accepted the challenge of representing our country, Turks & Caicos Islands. This experience is not all about winning. What I want the team to be aware of is that I am satisfied, knowing that they will give it everything that they’ve got, leaving it all out on the field, and having fun, which then translates into performing well. I am proud of our team already,” said President Bien-Aime.
Coach Bryan’s main goal is to present a more improved and refined team to this year’s Championship. “We have a strong team, and an obedient team. Do not underestimate what you can achieve. We have played against some of the top Beach Soccer players in the world, and there is no reason that our players cannot be recognized.”
