We are proud to provide the chance for some children, who may have never thought of playing soccer, an opportunity to get a training session from a professional," states President and CEO of POMCO Group, Robert W. Pomfrey. In addition to learning soccer techniques, the students are also taught the importance of continuing their education as a way to play professional soccer.
