PRESS RELEASE


John Doran
the President of the Bermuda Athletic Association (BAA) flanked by
Patrick Trott and John Beard officially announced Kenny
Thompson as the Director of Football at BAA.
Doran said, “When the Junior program was reborn six years ago - The
Vision of the Club is exactly on track where we want to be and we as a
Club are so excited about our future”.
“Special thanks goes out to our Sponsors Lindo’s, AWAC and HWP Group the
distributors for Hyundai cars in Bermuda without their help in funding
this would not have been possible”, continued Doran.
“Special thanks also goes to Trott for all his hard work in keeping
the program going”, concluded Doran.
Thompson said, “It is an honor to have been appointed Football
Director of the Bermuda Athletic Association (B.A.A.). Discussions with
John Doran, Patrick Trott and the B.A.A. committee and trustees have been
encouraging with these discussions confirming that we share the vision of
the basic requirements to improve on the structural and technical
foundation of the club’s football program. Our vision is to develop a
comprehensive multidisciplinary football academy for long term player
development through professionally structured and appropriately intense
football training. The program will also include a holistic development
plan that is designed to assist in the academic and social development of
each player.
My agreement to this leadership position has not been without mixed
emotions. Although delighted to work in this capacity of which I am so
very passionate I have had to relinquish my position as a teacher at
CedarBridge Academy within the Ministry of Education. To this end, I
extend my wholehearted thanks to Mrs. Kalmar Richards for her unwavering
support and understanding in my decision with special thanks to the entire
CedarBridge Academy family. In keeping with my philosophical beliefs, I am
guided in that I will continue to remain in contact with Bermuda’s young
people toward contributing to their positive development. My mixed emotion
extends as well to my departure from the Somerset Eagles family with
special thanks to the Somerset Eagles players and support volunteers who
have committed and acquitted themselves superbly throughout my 4 year
tenure and whom I have no doubt will continue to excel.
At the same time this a period of celebration for the B.A.A. family and I
look forward to working with the club’s leadership, players, coaches and
parents of the program as we endeavor to make each participant’s football
experience and social upbringing rewarding.
Please accept that with speculative accounts of this appointment being
discussed recently today’s media invitation is solely to make an official
announcement from within the club. To this end, we will not take any
questions at this time. However, we will make ourselves available for
interviews in the near future.
We would like to thank our leading sponsors- Lindo’s, AWAC and HWP”.
Thank
you.
Kenny
Thompson
