Nassau, Bahamas – The Bahamas Football Association (BFA) continued its mission to develop grassroots football across the islands with its participation in Camp BAF in Exuma led by Technical Director Bruce Swan. The multi-day camp, a beloved tradition for over ten years, welcomed children aged 4 to 18 for a week filled with sports, fun, and foundational football development.
Participants were organized into four age groups — U7, U9, U12, and 13+, and engaged in both football and basketball activities. Swan worked closely with two rotating groups each day, culminating in a final day that featured team games designed to test their soccer and basketball skills in a spirited, fun-filled environment.
“Seeing the mix of local children and those visiting from abroad or spending time with family reminded me how sport creates community in ways few other things can,” said Swan. “Throughout the week, the energy, focus, and enthusiasm from the kids made the experience truly fulfilling.”
The camp’s structure included age-appropriate drills in ball mastery and overall physical activity. The final day emphasized teamwork and playfulness, giving the young athletes a chance to apply what they’d learned while simply enjoying the game.
The BFA continues to invest in youth engagement and football education across The Bahamas, and camps like this one in Exuma play a key role in developing talent, building character, and inspiring a lifelong love for the game.
