After a rousing first stop in Subic last month, the season’s most exciting summer sport goes to the finest resorts in Boracay and Davao.
The 2011 Kicksand Beach Football Series is a baby of the Beach Football Association of the Philippines (BFAP) under its president, Mike Athab.
Kicksand will be staged after the Hala Bola PBA All-Star Week which also goes to the island this month.
The Boracay leg will be hosted by Bamboo Resort Hotel owned by Jonar Villanueva, president of the Kiwanis Club of Boracay, through his manager, Jimmy Escotin.
For the Boracay leg, Visayas squads will be crowding for the men’s and women’s titles but some teams which took part in Subic are among those knocking on the door to conquer Boracay and have reportedly been asking for more details on the Boracay and Davao events which they intnd to join.
The teams in the Subic joust were composed of some of the finest football players of the land. Visayas, with its rich football tradition, will likely come up with their best squads in the Boracay leg. Then the tournament swings to Davao at the Bluejaz beach resort where local teams are expected to defend their turf as a matter of pride.
For the Davao leg, James Infiesto is coordinating with BFAP and marketing group F1 Event Solutions in the preparations.
F1 Event Solutions made sure the Kicksand event will be staged in Davao for the first time. Years back, beach football was introduced here during the time of the late sportswriter and promoter, Vic Sai, at the black sands of Times Beach and Bonguyan Beach.
PSC chairman Richie Garcia gave his support to the BFAP program through his senior executive assistant, Dabawenyo lawyer Guillermo Iroy, Jr.
