Coaches to enhance their skills at hub
Coaches to enhance skills
Aspiring male and female football coaches from Middelburg will have a unique opportunity to enhance their coaching through the ongoing #BetwayCares Skills Hub, which heads to the Themba Sinamela Stadium in Mpumalanga between May 24 and 31.
After successfully empowering coaches and administrators in the fields of cricket and netball over the last three months, football development takes centre stage for May as 30 aspiring coaches, equally split between male and female, prepare to expand their knowledge of the game in an eight-day Betway-sponsored course.
The entry-level course, which will be overseen by highly experienced Safa coaching instructors focuses strongly on youth coaching methods, which is a perfect synergy with the #BetwayCares Skills Hub objective of aiding the development of community sport.
In addition to the highly experienced coaching instructors, Betway has invited former Bafana Bafana star and current SA u-20 head coach Helman Mkhalele to share his inspirational football coaching journey with the next generation of coaches.
Midnight Express, as the legend is affectionately known, is no stranger to the life-changing community work done by Betway, having partnered with the brand three years ago on a similar course.
“It is encouraging to see how Betway has remained focused on aiding the development of football and sport in general. I had the pleasure of being part of the last course in Pretoria which laid the perfect foundation for those coaches to launch their coaching careers and ultimately improve the standard of football in their communities, one hopes this course will yield similar results,” said Mkhalele.
Commenting on the strides made by the programme, Betway SA marketing manager David Rachidi said the brand was encouraged by the overwhelming response from the communities and sport organisations who were interested in partnering with Betway.
“The #BetwayCares Skills Hub has been a resounding success thanks to the partnerships we have established with various organisations and associations over the last few months. This goes to show there is a pressing need for assistance at community level and, as a brand that has a proven track record of assisting communities, we remain committed to this journey of aiding community sport development,” said Rachidi.
