#POV #YouthSpace
I would encourage the teams to adopt new ways of spotting and uplifting talent now that the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) transfer window has officially opened.
If I'm not mistaken, only a few top-tier teams from the NSL to the KPL host tryouts for scouting players. I also doubt if there's a scouting system in place, and if there's one, it isn't clear how it is done, and the scouts aren't noticeable within the ranks of the club.
Anyway, in conjunction with what is best known to the clubs, I would encourage the coaches to spare time to follow the ongoing lower leagues to spot talents and, if possible, invite particular teams for friendly matches.
Do we have quality players at the grassroots fit for the NSL and KPL leagues?
I know it can be argued that players from lower divisions lack the experience to play in top-tier leagues, but if we don't intentionally recruit a certain percentage to go up a level, when will they get the experience? Secondly, even with exemplary performance, does a player need connections?
General Observation
I have noticed that the grassroots league hosts many talented players who don't know how to scale up to the next level or, in general, what they need to do to play for top-tier clubs. On the other hand, there's a great fanbase at the community level following the league matches that can support the development of grassroots football.
Here are some pictures from last Sunday's game featuring Mathare North Youth F.C vs. Mathare North United F.C in a FKF Nairobi County Regional League match.

As a community, we are happy for Kelly Madada to have signed with the AFC Leopards S.C in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL). It is evident that we have more talents that need to be exposed further. Given the chance, we hope to export more talents to the NSL and KPL next season.
