Indoor soccer pro David Bascome is offering as many as 15 Bermudian youngsters a chance to follow in his footsteps next summer.

Bascome, currently knocking in the goals for Baltimore Blast in the Major Indoor Soccer League, is again using his strong links with US soccer to help out his up and coming countrymen.

Following his summer soccer camp on the Island last year, four youngsters earned the chance to have trials with the Blast, the two-time indoor champions.

Those impressing this summer at the camps will get opportunities the following summer in outdoor football for the Harrisburg Islanders in the Super Y League.

The youth league, which includes sides linked to Major League Soccer teams, runs age groups from Under-13 to Under-19 and Bascome is offering more than a dozen youngsters from across those age groups a chance to play ten weeks of soccer in the US.

?We will be looking at the players this summer and then we will be inviting as many as we can over for trials next January,? said Bascome, like fellow pro Shaun Goater, always keen to help out Bermuda?s soccer-playing youth.

?I?d like to see 10 to 15 placed with various age group teams at Harrisburg next summer. The Super Y League is a strong competition and there are some very good young players there.

?It is also a great opportunity, particularly in the older age groups, to showcase players for college with a lot of the scouts taking an interest in the teams.

?Anything we can do to help Bermuda?s young players is worth trying and if just one player gets a college scholarship out of it then it will have been worthwhile.

?For the younger players, going over to the US for the summer will help them develop both as young men and players and then they would be better equipped for the future if they went back the following year in the next age group.?

Bascome added that the youngsters would be found families to stay with while playing in the Super Y League and would be given ?every type of help available to allow them to excel on the pitch?.
