ENGLISH Premier League side West Bromwich Albion FC are sending their academy coach Ahmed Ali to hold a four-day coaching clinic that begins tomorrow at Belgravia Sports Club.

Zimbabwe-UK Under-17 coach Trevor Mazhande will also be part of the coaching staff.

BN Academy director Bhekithemba Nyoni, who is facilitating the visit, said the clinic is targeting players from the young age of six right up to 19.

“Mazhande is already in the country while Ali is expected today ahead of a four-day training clinic which will commence tomorrow at Belgravia Sports club.

“Although our target group is 13 to 19-year-olds, players from the age of six will be given an opportunity to take part in the clinic,” said Nyoni.

Nyoni said players shortlisted during the training clinic will be afforded a chance for trials at the English side academy.

“Ali has given us an assurance that players that will be shortlisted during the clinic will be given an opportunity to go for trials at West Bromwich Albion,” said the BN Academy director.

“This will be good for the development of sport in the country, such programs give our players and coaches a different dimension to football,” said Nyoni.

Nyoni said in August he struck a deal with Football CVs Academy in the United Kingdom. The deal will see top English Academy club managers coming to Zimbabwe to conduct training clinics.

“This visit is the first of many visits to come after we struck a deal with Football CV Academy sometime in August and we are expecting the head of the Football CV Academy to be in the country in April next year,” he revealed.
