I feel that the partnership has come at a critical time when this age group of young men are finding themselves. It is important that they are engaged in positive activities.“We cannot express how blessed we are with this opportunity to form this partnership with Digicel which will see some of the players gain work experience through the summer internship programme as well as other benefits.”Team manager Tawana Butterfield added: “We believe that through structured training United FC can build the athletic careers and characters of team members.“We teach not only football skills but life skills. We choose not to focus on just sports or winning but rather developing players who can demonstrate a high level of fair play, respect, character and sportsmanship in any situation.”
