KIDS from Davao City and other parts in the Davao Region who are aged six to 12 years old are expected to join the Cherifer Football Festival set at the Tionko field on Saturday and Sunday.
Philippine Football Federation (PFF) technical director Aris Caslib on Thursday said the two-day activity will give the kids time to play soccer and at the same time meet new friends.
"We invite children to come and play at Agro field even if they don't belong to any football team. We assure them to have fun and learn basics of football like controlling the ball, dribbling and shooting," Caslib said during the regular Davao Sportswriters Association (DSA) Forum at the Tower Inn on Thursday.

Palaro Football: Davao in finals
DAPITAN CITY -- Defending champion Davao Region secondary booters will try to keep their crown while the secondary cagers will try to make history in separate finals matches set Saturday.
The Davao eleven, coached by Ramonito "Lalas" Carreon, blanked Cagayan Valley, 5-0, in the semifinals at the Barcelona Elementary School Friday.
Davao City's Jomar Acedo led scoring with two goals as teammates Francis Patrick Lim, Franklin Charleston Uy and David Angelo Diamante added one goal each.
Davao topped their bracket with an unbeaten slate following a default win over Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao late Thursday afternoon.
Saturday's 9 a.m. titular clash will be a repeat of the Tarlac championship showdown where Davao was pitted against Central Visayas.
"It's a great challenge to face Cebu in the finals for the second time. I believe they are out for revenge. Cebu has bigger players but we we've got the speed. The players' skills of both teams are equal though. We are going to defend our title. We will go for gold," Lalas said in an interview with Sun.Star Davao.
He said this despite the absence of injured defender Arnel Casil of Compostela Valley.
Over at the Zamboanga del Norte Convention gym, the Nestor Sorrosa-coached Davao stunned National Capital Region (NCR), 98-79, in the semis.
Assistant coach Roger Rabago, said, "The Lord is good giving us the victory. NCR was bigger than us. Our players were able to grab steals that were converted into points. The boys were determined to win so they played hard against those giants."
Davao plays Calabarzon for the gold at 8 a.m. Saturday. The latter defeated Western Visayas in double overtimes. Western Visayas defeated Davao in the elimination round. (MLSA)
