The coaching camp is primarily organized for school students of the district in the age group of 14 to 16 years and is monitored by Mongera M. Marak and Gamcheng Marak, both football coaches from Netaji Subash National Institute of Sports, Patiala.
The Coaching Camp was inaugurated on Tuesday afternoon by Additional Deputy Commissioner, Ampati, PK Boro in the presence of District Sports Officer J.P. Marak, sports officials and several other  from the district. In his brief inaugural address, Boro lamented that although  there is lots of talented players in Garo Hills, none have been able to play in the State or National levels.
