Under-15 Player Engaged in a Game of Football
Generation Amazing
The Dominica Football Association (DFA) is dedicated to cultivating young talent through multiple initiatives that empower youth and promote football as a pathway for personal and athletic development. Among these initiatives, Generation Amazing, a CONCACAF-branded program, has taken the lead as a transformative force in youth football. Focused on character development and life skills, Generation Amazing equips young players not only to excel on the field but also to build the resilience, discipline, and teamwork essential for success in all areas of life.
Under-15 League
The Under-15 League stands as a cornerstone of DFA’s youth development efforts, providing a competitive yet inclusive environment where young athletes of all skill levels can showcase their talents and gain critical match experience. This league is tailored to help players refine their technique, enhance teamwork, and deepen their understanding of the game, preparing them for future opportunities in football.
FIFA Talent Coach
The DFA’s commitment to elevating youth football was underscored with a visit from a FIFA Talent Coach who will bring additional expertise and training to the island. This visit aligns with other recent improvements, including structural changes to the Regional Training Center (RTC) Program. By consolidating the number of centers from six to three, the DFA aims to focus resources, ensuring higher-quality, more effective training for young players.
Under-20 National Team
Furthermore, the DFA is actively preparing to field a Women’s U-20 National Team for upcoming CONCACAF U-20 tournament, reinforcing its dedication to guiding young players toward advanced levels of competition.
Key Takeaway
These coordinated efforts by the DFA are making youth football in Dominica more vibrant, competitive, and accessible than ever before, laying the groundwork for a generation of skilled, passionate players who are poised to make their mark in the world of football.
