"We have an exciting line-up of football activities which will help to bring out the best in each and every aspiring player. This unique partnership highlights Liverpool FC's commitment to creating opportunities in Asia, following our opening of our representative office in Singapore in 2010."
According to an official statement released by Liverpool, 'During the December school holidays in 2012, members of the public will have the rare chance to sign up their children for soccer camps which will be hosted by coaches from Liverpool FC.
A total of four soccer camps will be hosted - two camps in Singapore and two in Malaysia, with 48 participants per camp. One of the soccer camps will see the involvement of the Courts-sponsored S-League team, Courts Young Lions (CYL) who will have the opportunity to gain invaluable insights into international football standards.'
Founded in 2002, the majority of the Young Lions' squad consist of players from country's national under-23 team as part of a bid to develop the nation's youth for soccer at the highest level.
Courts chief executive officer Terry O'Connor added, "At Courts, we stay committed to engaging and giving back to the community and are always on the lookout for interesting ways to do so.
"We are extremely excited to bring the Liverpool FC legacy to local shore and hope the upcoming soccer camps will be a huge hit with our soccer-loving customers. Families and friends will have yet another option to spend quality time together during the school holidays." "We are delighted to be partnering with one of Malaysia and Singapore's retail giants, and be given the opportunity to coach and nurture young talents through our extensive training programme," said Liverpool FC managing director Ian Ayre.
