CAY HILL-- Alejandra Corona won a spot to train at a professional Belgian football camp. She was recognized for her hard work and dedication during the Oualichi International Summer Soccer Camp held at Raoul Illidge Sports Complex.
Corona, who attends the Caribbean International Academy and is 17 years of age, joined Oualichi Women’s Soccer Team last month and played last year in the High School Soccer Competition. She will travel next summer to Belgium for her chance to practice with some of the best coaches in Europe.
The Oualichi summer camp has been a yearly event since 2013 and this year marks the second year Oualichi collaborated with Progress Sports.
Progress Sports brought in coaches from England, the Netherlands and Belgium. They coached the young players together with Oualichi coaches Dagmar Daal and Alexandra den Ouden. The camp was very successful with more than 50 athletes registering for the three day event.
"It is the second time we are able to send a talented young player to train at a European camp,” said Oualichi Youth head coach Daal. “It will also be the first female player that we are sending to Europe to train."
