Hamilton Parish youth coach Corey Hill remains determined to turn his vision for a clubhouse at Shelly Bay Field into reality.Hill, who grew up playing cricket and football on the field and now coaches youngsters in Hamilton Parish’s youth football programme there, is encouraged by the response he received to an initial article that appeared in The Royal Gazette a month ago.“The response I have been getting from the public and a few government officials has been positive,” said Hill. “Everyone seems to agree that something has to be done, the Parish Council has been very instrumental in helping steer the whole idea, and we will not give up on making this a reality for the kids in our community.“The entire programme is working very hard, from the coaches, the players, the administrators, the parents and grandparents. We need this to help save lives and we need it yesterday. We don’t want to spend another year under these conditions, when it comes to doing something positive that will benefit kids we need to make sacrifices.“There are no excuses when children are involved. In my opinion, providing such a facility is a no-brainer and anyone who second guesses the needs of children ought to have a long look in the mirror.”Hill says there are more than 100 youngsters in the football programme who trained at the Government-owned field. He believes a structure there would meet many needs and benefit more sports groups, such as the Commercial Cricket League and Masters football as well as other community programmes held there.“In the near future I should be sitting down with the MPs in the Ministries that are responsible for making it happen ... Sports and Environment and the MP in the constituency (Wayne Furbert),” said Hill.“These are the ministries we are trying to bring to the table and hopefully we can proceed as soon as possible. From a personal standpoint I’m on board, I’m sailing and I have to reach my destination. I put my mind to it and is something I have to see through. It’s not just for me but for the kids, if I don’t do it who’s going to do it. I’ve got to do it for my son, who is eight years old, and the other kids in the programme. In our programme we have kids who have lost their fathers.”Hill weighed into the discussion about building a statue for boxer Clarence Hill, Bermuda’s own medallist at the Olympic Games.“My opinion is I think it would be more beneficial for the country if we had a building and with his name on a plaque on that building,” said Hill. “We’re going to get more from that, as opposed to a statue.“If you have a building you are providing an opportunity for another Clarence Hill. Everybody knows what Clarence Hill has done. We need more Clarence Hills, but in order to get more Clarence Hills we need a facility. What are we going to do, fight the statue? People turn to different things when they become frustrated.”
