Malindisa said injuries prompted her to quit playing and become a coach.
“I have come to enjoy the coaching. I like working with the players and getting to work on combinations, dribbling skills and more,” said Malindisa.
She admitted that she is still learning while looking to grow as a coach.
“I would like to become a qualified coach one day. My family are behind me and they like seeing me do what I enjoy.
“The boys have shown a level of respect and they listen to instructions,” said Malindisa.
The club continues to strive and seek assistance with new soccer balls, training and match kits and sponsors for transport.
