“Football integrated with life skills” workshop on 7th, 8th and 9th July 2010


 

What an amazing workshop! Fantastic! Very Good! Very interesting! Entertaining and educational! Wonderful!
These are only some of the comments from the Coaches who attended the workshop on Football Integrated with Life Skills held by Pearson and Kizito from Sport in Action.
The workshop was a three day of total immersion in all things football and life skills. After the morning theory session, the coaches jumped, ran, kicked at Matanda ground for the afternoon practical session.
On the last day, they also had the chance to put into practice the newly acquired skills by coaching some of the young players of Never Give Up who were very willing to try some new fun and educational drills.
A huge thank you goes to the two amazing facilitators, Kizito and Pearson, who excited and thrilled the coaches with their knowledge and enthusiasm! Let`s give them a KALABANDA clap!

Tackle Africa: Sinem coaching the girls


“You are APPLE; you are WATER; you are EXERCISE; you are SLEEP”, Sinem tells the Under 12 girls at Matanda ground. It is a game which uses a football drill to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Sinem is an amazing volunteer coach from the UK, in Zambia with her organization Tackle Africa. The girls from Matanda ground were very happy to have this great opportunity to meet her and learn new games and drills. The Under 18 girls learned a drill which requires great precision and team work from a football point of view, but it also teaches about positive living.

Sinem is now back in her home town of London, but the all of Never Give Up wants to thank her for giving us such a fun Sunday afternoon
