After successful trials in September at the RFUEA grounds in Nairobi, a bunch of young talented boys were selected to form Kenya U18 which will act as a feeder to both the Chipu which is the national U20 side and Kenya Simbas.
With this being the first ever camp for young boys to happen in the country, it will go along way to nurturing talents and stabilizing the men’s national team, Simbas.
The camp will provide an opportunity for the young lads to be able to start engaging with some of the most experienced coaches in the country being led by the head of U18 development coach, Paul Odera who is a world level 3 coaching holder.
