Additionally, twelve local coaches, split equally with six men and six women, are on hand to mentor and train the young talents.
The three day camp also features two LALIGA Coaches, both possessing UEFA Pro licenses, and are hard at work to share their expertise and knowledge with the participants.
Tresor Penku, Managing Director for LALIGA Africa, expressed his excitement about the event:
"We are thrilled to bring the LALIGA experience to Newcastle, KwaZulu-Natal. LALIGA is committed to nurturing football talent worldwide, and this camp is a testament to our dedication to developing the sport in South Africa.
