loyola Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 This is their 2nd camp in the space of 6 weeks...weird. Men’s U-16 Team Wednesday, August 29, 2007 Canada’s men’s U-16 team to play in St. John’s Canada’s men’s U-16 team will gather in St. John’s, NL for a ten-day camp under coach Sean Fleming. The camp runs 7-17 September with training and matches at the King George V Park in St. John’s. The camp is a joint venture between the Canadian Soccer Association, Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association, and the St. John’s Soccer Association. Along with the daily trainings, the team will play three exhibition games against local senior teams. The three exhibition matches are scheduled for 12 September (7 pm vs. Memorial University), 14 (7pm vs. Challenge Cup finalist) and 16 (6pm vs. Challenge Cup winner). “The NLSA is extremely please to have the Canadian U-16 national team come to Newfoundland and Labrador for a ten-day camp in St. John’s,” says Doug Redmond, president of the NLSA. “It is a great opportunity for our players, coaches and fans see our national team in training. The national U16 team will play three games against our senior teams during their visit and it will give our teams some exceptional competition. The Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association and the St. John’s Soccer Association are extremely pleased to partner with the Canadian Soccer Association.” The Canadian U-16 camp features players born in 1991 or later. These players will be eligible for the next two FIFA U-20 World Cups (2009 and 2011), albeit most would likely challenge for a position on the 2011 team. Players born in 1992 would also be eligible for the FIFA U-17 World Cup 2009. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Freekick. Sent the photo to the addy I had, but it bounced back as undeliverable. Your profile has no contact info specified. I will "unhide" my address in my profile - hopefully not too many nigerians will contact me :-) - if you want to drop me a quick note and I'll try to send it again.

The U-16 team will play three exhibition games against local senior teams. The three exhibition matches are scheduled for 12 September (7 pm vs. Memorial University), 14 (7pm vs. Mount Pearl) and 16 (6pm vs. St. Lawrence).

loyola Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 According to the Memorial University website, the U-16 won their game with Memorial in penalty kicks after a scoreless draw. No more details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I didn't realize Julien LATENDRESSE LÉVESQUE was a '91 (i thought he was a '90?). Anyways, looks like he and Adam Street will gives us a solid U20 tandem in 2011. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 I watched the U16's play St. Lawerence the Newfoundland Challange cup champions. U16's won 1-0 on a St. Lawerence defensive error at the 4 minute mark. Both teams played good football but neither team had admirable finishing. Posession was about even. Midfield seems to be the strengh of this U16. Number 15 in pirticular was very skilled and played on the wing (i think left). St. Lawerence hasn't lost one game this whole season so to beat them says alot--especially considering the Laurentians had what appeared to be their full line-up. Wasn't too impressed with the offensive game of the U16 wingbacks, too many long balls to strikers IMO--however they defend okay and are not a liability. There seems to be no player who really stands out with the U16's apart from the outside midfielder previously mentioned. Their was a center midfielfer who was their captian he was pretty skilled also, but I can't remember his number or name. (sorry guys) The U16's beat Newfoundland Challenge cup runner up Mount Pearl 2-0. Wasn't there but heard it wasn't a good game. I never seen the MUN game but based on the St. Lawerence game, I'm surprised Memorial got away with a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loyola Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 Here's the CSA report for the trip in Newfounland: Men’s U-16 Team Tuesday, September 18, 2007 U16s enjoy success in Newfoundland Canada's men's U-16 national team wrapped up their highly-successful training camp in St. John's, NL. They finished with a perfect three wins in three matches against local competition. The U-16 team (players born on or after January 1, 1991)played matches against Memorial University (12 September), Mount Pearl (14 September) and St. Lawrence (16 September). Canadian head coach Sean Fleming was very pleased with the effort, results and opportunity provided by the joint venture between the Canadian Soccer Association, St. John’s Soccer Association and Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association (NLSA). “This is a great opportunity after our previous camp to build on our team organization and to see how these players can handle the competition of three games in five days,” said Fleming. “It was an honour to play at King George V Park.” The beautifully remodeled King George V Park was the venue for the matches and training sessions, providing the young Canadians with the added experience of competing in the same venue where the Canadian National Team qualified for their only World Cup some 22 years ago. “It was an honour to play on King George V Park, where the Canadian national team qualified for their World Cup in the 1980s," said Team captain, Ethan Gage. "The facilities and (the) training were great and we were well taken care of.” Despite giving away the edge in experience, the Canadians were able to open the camp by sneaking past Memorial University on striker Jerome Baker’s shootout-winning goal after a 0:0 draw. Against St. Lawrence, the most anticipated contest of the camp, a second-minute marker from striker Sahil Sandhu after a scramble in front of the goal sent the Canadians to a 1:0 victory over St. Lawrence. The Canadians wrapped up the camp with a 2:0 victory over Mount Pearl on goals by Gage in the 24th minute and Baker in the 85th minute. Thanks to local support, this is the second opportunity that the men's U-16 team has had to assemble over the past two months. Previously, the group was together for a week-long camp in Saskatoon, SK following the U16 Boys All-Stars competition in late July. Fleming sees these types of opportunities and support as essential for these young players, who hope to eventually represent Canada in qualifying for the FIFA U-20 World Cup 2011. “These two camps have been great opportunities for the 1991 development team,” said Fleming. “Hopefully other developmental teams can have similar experiences. A great deal of credit must be given to the provincial associations and their districts for their generous support of the national youth teams.” Doug Redman, President of the NLSA added, “the St. John's Soccer Association and the Newfoundland and Labrador Soccer Association were very pleased to have Canada's national U-16 boys team in Newfoundland and Labrador for a ten-day camp which included three exciting exhibition games. We feel it necessary for provinces to work with the Canadian Soccer Association to provide competition and camps for our national youth teams.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bertuzzi44 Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Nice to see (as I would expect) some more east asian Canadians coming up through the ranks. I know where I live there is a very large east Indian/asian community, so begining to see names like Brar, Josan and Sandhu is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grecko Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 Gagan Josan is a 1992 player who plays for me at Surrey United. He is simply an outstanding talent. He has been offered a contract by Glasgow Celtic. However, there are lots of details to work out due to work visa issues. The words from Tommy Burns, head of youth development at Celtic, "an absolutely outstanding talent. He is the best at this age level and the next levels up. I want him here. I want him here now!" I watched Gagan and two of my other players train with the Celtic U-19's and the Reserves. Gagan was the cream of the crop. A natural midfielder, he is getting better all the time. Incidentally, another one of my players, Bobby Jhutty has signed with Sparta Rotterdam and has moved there two months ago. Another South Asian with outstanding talent. Nice to see. The tide has turned as far as South Asian players are concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
