This is the message from Fiji FA Chief Executive Mohammed Yusuf as he opened the MA’s Grassroots Coaching Certificate course in Vatuwaqa yesterday.

20 local coaches are part of the course, which Yusuf says will equip them to handle the delicate task of instilling the virtues of football to young and aspiring players between the ages of 9 and 17 years.
