Development clinic underway at Mariental

The Namibia Football Association (NFA), in collaboration with the German Football Association (DFB) and GIZ, are hosting the Sports 4 Development (S4D) coaching clinic at Mariental this week, while Swakopmund will take centre stage next week.The course is specifically for coaches involved with under-17 regional teams, women's football, the Namibia Schools Sports Union (NSSU) and junior national teams.NFA technical director Timothy Tjongarero, alongside Caroline Kunschke and Johannes Schropfer, are the instructors. The course covers key concepts, such as sport for development, the difference between sport and S4D coaching and the roles and responsibilities of S4D coaches. “The Sport 4 Development coaching course will equip youth coaches on how to integrate healthy lifestyle choices and life skills into players through daily training sessions,” Tjongarero said.He said they aim to promote football as a tool to encourage positive lifestyle choices and add life skills values to players, while aiding in creating proud and well-behaved Namibians. “The project aims to promote, support and make sport accessible to all our youth. Through organised sport activities and outdoor pursuits, we will promote good qualities, healthy habits and discipline, formed through sport. We believe that through the education of children, families and the public on the importance of sport, regular training and good nutrition, we can motivate our youth to pursue and live healthy and happy lives,” Tjongarero added.
