A staunch supporter of the sport and the benefits and values it bring to the younger set, the Shirley’s Football Club made the donation of ten soccer balls to the Oleai Elementary School last February 5, 2011.
It was the football club’s first get together party at the grounds of Oleai Elementary School where more than 50 youth players showed up together with their parents for the Youth Football Spring League registration..
The soccer ball donation made the get together more meaningful and was an apt welcome to the league which will open on February 26.
A grateful Mr. James Sablan, Oleai’s Vice Principal, accepted the donation from Shirley’s Football Club president, Susan Macario. With Macario is NMIFA President Jerry Tan and Shirley’s Football Club General Secretary Puy Macario.
In a brief speech, Mr. Sablan mentioned that he is happy to receive the soccer ball donation and that the school will continue with their partnership with Shirley’s Football Club who had been instrumental in increasing the awareness of the students in the said sport.
Susan Macario, the Club’s president, relayed that they are very grateful to Oleai Elementary School for providing the club its home, where children do their practice games twice a week.
Their donation of the ten pieces soccer balls to Oleai Elementary school is just a small token of appreciation to the officers of the school as by providing the home pitch, the club knows they will be able to reach more students and children of CNMI and create a bigger impact through the sport of football.
