Seaflower aids hockey enthusiasts
The Namibia Hockey Union (NHU) and Seaflower Group of Companies successfully conducted coaching clinics for coaches and children of primary schools in Lüderitz over the weekend.
Four coaches from the two primary schools received basic training in hockey from the NHU and thereafter were able to teach basic hockey skills to about 40 learners that participated in the event.
Seaflower, which partnered with NHU, donated hockey sticks and balls to the value of N$9 200 to the two primary schools, namely Nautilus and Helene van Rijn after they attended the coaching course. The equipment will enable the learners to acquire training and to hone their skills in the game.
Since 2015 the NHU has conducted coaching clinics to schools in Windhoek, Keetmanshoop, Mariental, Rundu, Katima Mulilo, and now also Lüderitz.
Erwin Haindura, coach of the senior women's indoor national team said that the coaching course was successful in its quest to engage youngsters and to get them interested in playing hockey.
Haindura also said that the fishing company not only donated equipment to schools, but is also the official sponsor of the senior women's indoor hockey national team that will compete at the upcoming Indoor African Cup of Nations scheduled for 23 to 25 June at the Dome in Swakopmund.
He further added that the NHU will conduct more coaching clinics this year in Omaruru, Outjo and Oshakati, and that the course will be sponsored by Bank Windhoek.
