We are proud to do this. You never know what happens when you go and look at these players. We might find the next Kobamelo Kodisang, Katlego Khunou amongst them. We do that for community, but we also pray that we find the next generation of young footballers. This is the right step.    "We can't do it very often because of our congested league schedule. Since we are on a break, now we have got perfect time to do it and that is why we doing it. We are making sure that the players give something back especially so that they can share their knowledge of being professional players with the youngsters."   The clinics will be held at Tlapa Primary School on 9 November and Thethe Secondary School on 10 November as part of the club's Soccer Schools programme.
