    <P class=StoryText align=justify>Jamaica's national Under-20 football coach, Dr Dean Weatherly, is hoping to get the go-ahead from Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) boss Crenston Boxhill for a planned six-week camp to prepare for the final round of the CONCACAF qualifying tournament in Mexico from February 21-25.<TABLE cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=5 width=120 align=left border=0><TBODY><TR><TD></TD></TR><TR><TD><SPAN class=Description>WEATHERLY. leaving no stone unturned in quest to qualify</SPAN></TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE><P class=StoryText align=justify>According to Dr Weatherly, they are looking to host the camp at Munro College in St Elizabeth and up to 75 per cent of the plans had been finalised with the head of the institution.
    The young Reggae Boyz will qualify for their second Under-20 World Cup Finals if they finish in the top two of their final round group against Mexico, Costa Rica and St Kitts and Nevis.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Dr Weatherly said he is leaving no stone unturned in their quest to qualify, and this camp is aimed at getting the players to their optimum form so they can represent the nation with distinction.
    "We are planning a six-week camp that will carry us straight into the tournament. We're still in the planning stages of it right now, so we're just trying to fine-tune some things to make it happen.<P class=StoryText align=justify>"But we're working at it assiduously because we hope to be in camp by next week straight through until the tournament," he said.
    However, there is the issue of schooling, and this is the coach's major concern as he tries to get his plans organised.
    "Those in school, we will have to find a school for them because the JFF has a policy when they take them out of school. But we need to put them into schools now for those who will be out of their geographical region.<P class=StoryText align=justify>"We're looking at Munro, but we're waiting on Mr Gayle (Branford, principal) to confirm. If not, we will have to go to plan B, as we have been planning to talk to the headmaster at Cornwall College, because there is a boarding facility there as well," he said.
    "But we're in dialogue with Munro and it was about 75 per cent sure up to yesterday (Thursday).<P class=StoryText align=justify>"So when the weekend is out we will definitely know where we are going to be, because I will meet with Mr Boxhill and Mr Gibson (Burchell, JFF general secretary) over the weekend and work out these things," he added.
    "But the best place is Munro because the games will be played at high altitude, in Mexico, so with Munro being somewhat a bit above sea level it would be good for the boys," he noted.<P class=StoryText align=justify>Also, there could be some resistance from the National Premier League (NPL) clubs, but Dr Weatherly said they will have to understand the importance of the camp.
    "Some of the premier league clubs will be up in arms, but we just have to do what we have to and let them understand where w

    Weatherly has the right thinking, I hope Boxhill makes this happen.

              ...and, the TEAMs that prepare and play on our plains? ...oh, it is folly to prepare on the plains of Kingston &amp; St Andrew, St Catherine - national champs too numerous to mention)? ...not to mention those of Clarendon (Dinthill, Vere &amp; Glenmore - former national Champs), St, Elizabeth (StETHS - former D'Cup champs), Clarendon College - former national champs,)Westmoreland (Geodfrey Stewart, Frome, Reno), Hanover - (plains by the sea where Rusea's another former national champs prepared)and Montego Bay...etc, etc.

              Oh...any national champs have every prepared at the GC Foster College...or national teams? ...no tournaments?

              ...and, no one remembers our national teams preparing at the National Stadium...and, making it to 1 FIFA World Cup ...and, 2 FIFA age-group championships? :w00t:

                  Where in Jamaica it is alwaysnever appropriate toengage in extremelystrenuousphysical activity during any hour of the day or night?

                  I do not know such a place!

                  ...and, where in Jamaicawould it not be wise toon some occasions not engage in extremelystrenuousphysical activity?

                  I do know 'All Jamaica'!

                  The idea that Munro...or the village of Potsdam is the only suitable place to install our academy is nonsense. ...and, nonsenseit wouldbe to claim the GC Foster is the only place to install an academy.

                  For my part I hope we shall have academies all across the island.

                  Munro and Potsdam has some 'good things' going for them...and, so does GC Foster.

                  btw - An academy will be sited at GC Foster!

                  Aside: Boxhill in his manifesto gave at least one reason why putting the academy atMunro was nota wise option.

                  It must be that he re-examined his position and 'a bulb' when off in his head?

                    I might have missed it. Where did I say Munro was the only suitable place?

                    Again, your thanks have been advanced!
