The Camp lasted for four days from 22nd to the 25th of June and was attended by nearly thirty players from Melli and the surrounding areas. Some senior players of Sikkim also helped Nirmal in this noble effort to give direction to the young players. The camp had morning and evening sessions.
Nirmal expressed happiness with regards to the camp as he saw some very excited kids who carried their own balls to attend the camp though Nirmal had arranged for the balls himself. He also admitted that he is not a trained coach but he shared his experience as a professional footballer with them.
Nirmal wants to make this Camp an annual affair as he feels that the players should be trained in a proper way from a young age which will help them grow into a technically sound footballers in future. He expressed hope that from next year more people will come in and help him in this endeavor.
This kind of projects should be appreciated and applauded by all and it’s so heartening to note that Nirmal has realized at such a young age that he has to give back to the kids what he has learned as a Professional footballer for more than four years.
Nirmal like any other player gets a one month break in a year and nobody would have said anything if he had taken a complete break from football but he stood up and conducted this camp which proves that he is of a different breed and wants to help the upcoming players and inspire them to follow his foot-steps.
Meanwhile United Kurseong Football Club has decided to felicitate Nirmal Chettri and Sanju Pradhan for their achievements during the Club’s Patrons meeting on the 10th of July. The Club’s Working President, Dinker Chettri informed.
