B.A.A. and UECornella Collaboration Press Release

Overview
B.A.A. is pleased to announce its collaboration agreement with Spanish
club UECornella which is based in Cornella de Llobregat, Barcelona, Spain.
UECornella is an affiliate of the Spanish Football Association (RFEF).
With the agreement between B.A.A. and UECornella, we will organize camps
for players and coaches, organize team tours to UE Cornella, organize and
provide opportunities for short and long-term personal experience at
UECornella for our players as well as implement the UECornella technical
curriculum into our program.
This partnership is another milestone in the recent on-going progression
of the B.A.A. football program commencing with the installation of our
synthetic surface, to the hiring of Kenny Thompson to develop our football
academy and now our relationship with UECornella who have an excellent
football academy with a reputation for developing top players.
UECornella is known for providing a bridge between amateur and
professional football. The latest well known player to pass through the
UECornella program is CFValencia left back Jordi Alba. Alba has made 2
appearances with the Spanish national team under Vicente del Bosque with
the latest appearance against England at Wembley last weekend.
The relationship also coincides with UECornella’s imminent move to a brand
new facility located directly outside of the RCDEspanyol Estadi Cornella-El
Prat stadium with modern clubhouse, covered seating, changing rooms,
restaurant, media facility, strength and conditioning area as well as
synthetic surfaces for 11 v 11, 7 v 7, 3 v 3 and goalkeeper training.
B.A.A. looks forward to a lasting and productive relationship with our
friends and colleagues at UECornella.
Andres Manzano (Technical Director UECornella)
“Dear friends, after two experiences here in Cornella with BAA managed by
Kenny Thompson, we are really proud to start up this football development
project in Bermuda. UECornella is one of the most renowned football
Academies in Barcelona (Spain) and at this moment we have here the
European Champion club (FCBarcelona) that is the foundation of the World
Cup Champion country. All those players you see now on TV has been
competing with us, playing at our facilities and helping us, like we have
helped them, to develop their football in the way we think this sport has
to be played. At this moment we are the club that is providing more
players to the professional clubs in Spain (only last season, 12 players
left the club to join a professional club), an impressive sign that we are
working on the correct way. Also, within the next days we will sign an
agreement with FCBarcelona, recognizing us as its best provider of
players, which also will allow that all of our players will have the best
chance to join the best club of the world which is another sign that we
have the quality and are working in the correct way.
Moreover just one month ago we had the best news that one player formed
here at UECornella played his first game with the Spanish National team of
Vicente del Bosque. Jordi Alba at only 22 years old was playing with us
four and a half years ago. This is a good story to explain to all of our
players what the possibilities are and we are really proud of it.
From this moment, I am very happy to say that all BAA boys and girls are
part of UECornella and will take all advantages of our experiences and
possibilities. Welcome everyone to this new exciting football experience.”
Zach Moniz (Manager Lindo’s Group of Companies)
“On any given night at BAA one can find over 200 kids participating in
soccer at some level and age group. This relationship with UECornella is
just another example of the amazing opportunities available for kids at
BAA. Lindo’s is proud to be one of BAA’s sponsors”.
John Doran (President B.A.A.)
“This is another step in moving the club forward and it’s one of our Goals
to build strategic partnerships both domestically and aboard. We have had
a couple of other opportunities but we were looking for a partnership that
was the right fit for B.A.A. – Here it is – and what an exciting prospect.
Both clubs are very much aligned in their approach to football and child
development on a broader scope. This opportunity is immense as it not only
gives our children more technical development but will also give them
academic and life skills – Geographically, Culturally, and Socially – They
will learn so much from integrating with other children and will bring
bonds and experiences that will last them a lifetime. Bermuda will benefit
much from this partnership. A special thanks to the Board, and our
sponsors – especially Lindo’s -without their support the program would not
be what it is today and finally to Kenny for making this a reality! We are
looking forward, and are excited, to making great ties with UECornella.”
Kenny Thompson (Football Director B.A.A.)
“I am pleased and extremely proud of this relationship with UECornella
which provides a unique opportunity for all of our players to continue
their football, social and cultural development with a top football club
in a top football environment. This collaboration creates a very realistic
step by step pathway for the players to maximize their potential. Our
partnership offers players additional and necessary exposure in a top
quality and challenging training and match environment that is required
for their optimal development. As we continue to provide an environment
whereby we develop and nurture players to maximize their potential, our
coaches will also benefit in the same way from regular exposures and
associations with our friends at UECornella through coach development
opportunities. We are excited for this opportunity for players and
coaches. It is with great pleasure to be working with UECornella. Thank
you Andres, Alex and the UECornella family.

a Happy Easter, one could not wish for better weather, we ARE truly
blessed as we start another beautiful week.
Picking up
from where we left off last week, we believe there may have been a couple
of promises made as to some things possibly taking place that we may or
may not have seen in decades at BAA…
.WELL……..

END OF SEASON CLEARANCE SALE”…. ONE NIGHT ONLY……FRIDAY

That’s right, keep this Friday free, BAA is the place to be.
If you haven’t been to the Club lately, this Friday is the time, it’s
relaxed seating inside or outside on “The Launch Pad”, watching the sun go
down, we’ve got tents, music and seating, we might even get out the “Crown
and Anchor” table, who knows? One thing we do know, it will be fun, and it
will be even more so if YOU are here, so plan on it.

of many “Themed” ideas we would like to try, 70’s, 80’s etc. being others
, WE WILL ONLY SUCEED WITH YOU, THIS IS YOUR CLUB.
So here we

functions will only work with your support, come see what we’ve done at
the Club, pictures galore, new furniture, it looks good.

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.

Thompson
