On Wednesday May 18th, 2016, Football Legend Everald" Gally "Cummings will launch the Gally Cummings Football Finishing School at Trotters Restaurant on Maraval Road.
Most of the participants then came from upscale neighbourhoods in Manhattan, New York where he was based at the time. It gave the participants an opportunity to experience our culture and establish friendships with some of the youngsters from Trinidad and Tobago.
Fifteen years later after calls from countless citizens to 'start his own thing' he has now established a non -profit company Gally's Football Finishing school (GFFS) to develop an elite group of skilful, technically sound and goal scoring proficient football players (boys and girls) within the age group of 9 - 16 years old while addressing their social, psychological, emotional and physiological needs.
He himself exhibited his football prowess as a 9-year-old youngster at Richmond Street Boys elementary school in POS in the primary school football league, a standout in Fatima College and instrumental in the school winning its First Intercol. He also started representing Trinidad & Tobago’s Senior National Football team at 16 years old.
Gally, the only Footballer to date to have won the prestigious Sportsman of the Year Award (1974), Individual of the year Award (1990) and two National Awards, in 1974 and 1989, would like to ensure sustainability of our natural and indigenous style of football which has won him international recognition as a player and coach.
His programme is nationwide and begins in Port of Spain and then moves to Chaguanas, Tacarigua , San Fernando, Siparia and in Tobago starting in the first week of July 2016.
