Davao Aguilas FC, LA Galaxy hold clinics for young booters

LA Galaxy’s Wes Meadows and Davao Aguilas FC players at Davao Aguilas FC’s Youth Football Day held at McKinley Stadium at BGC.

MANILA, Philippines — The Davao Aguilas Football Club has partnered with American club LA Galaxy in staging the Youth Football Day for more than 100 kids over the weekend at McKinley Stadium in Bonifacio Global City.

The Aguilas and Galaxy coaches Wes Meadows, Job Quevedo and Chris Howe conducted free clinics to children aged 8-16 as part of the two clubs’ international cooperation and efforts in developing future stars.

“It is a good start for Davao Aguilas FC to develop international cooperation with a big club like LA Galaxy.  At the same time, helping Philippine football in the development of young footballers,” Aguilas coach Marlon Maro said in a statement. “Events such as this one also showcases the technical capability of the club in finding future footballers in the country.”

For his part, Meadows said: “It has been great to partner up with Davao Aguilas, their staff, and players as well.  Obviously for us, with 100 kids being here, we needed additional staff, and they have been very accommodating.  It is great to work out and have this activity with a club here locally.”

Davao Aguilas FC coaches and players Marko Trkulja, Matthew Hartmann, Jordan Jarvis, Gerald Layumas, Princeton Josue, Stephen Burda, Kim Versales, Brad McDonald, Richard Talaroc and Andy Esswein took part in this activity.
