SKNFA PRESS RELEASE
Members of St. Kitts and Nevis Boys U-17 team, along with coaching and technical support staff, left the Federation on Saturday to the Dominican Republic to participate in the Concacaf U-17 Championships qualifiers, which get underway on Tuesday.
Players were seen with their family members joining hands in a word of prayer at the RLB International Airport before they checked in on their flight. Coach Alexis Morris is pleased with the preparations ahead of this tournament and is looking to see a good performance from his team. He also appealed to fans here in the Federation to follow the progress of the team.
“I think I am pretty satisfied. For the last two weeks, we have been putting in some work. We looked at some phases of play in terms of attack and defense, the team shape, etc.
The last week, we would have been doing some set plays, so we just have some icing to put on the cake on our next training day before our match. We will be pretty OK,” Coach Morris said.
He disclosed goal scoring will be one of the biggest threats to his team. “Once we get the guys in front of goal, I believe that we are going to do what we have been practicing all the time…and to keep as many clean sheets as we can. Once we are able to do that then I think we would have achieved the objectives that (we have set),” Coach Morris added.
