The Confederation of African Football (CAF) is once again investing in the development of football by hosting a residential three day CAF B Coaching Refresher Course at the FUFA Technical Center in Njeru.
The Course began with a short opening ceremony that was attended by the FUFA Head of Technical matters, Ali Mwebe, his assistant and Youth Football Development manager, Bashir Mutyaba and FUFA Education Officer Jackson Nyima.
On behalf of FUFA President, The FUFA Head of Technical Matters Mwebe thanked the attendees for attending the course and also said he was proud of the strides that are being made by the CAF to improve that quality of football in the federation at all levels.
‘This course is a serious one, as coaches need to have a better understanding of the game. We need coaches who can teach fellow coaches. A coach needs to understand the new trend of the game. This course is an enhancement course, it is to update the coaches on the trends and the changes in the football world. There will be more courses such as these in the future and I urge all coaches to participate when we host them’ Ali Mwebe stated.
The course will consist of theoretical lectures and practical sessions each day until the final day on Wednesday
Participants of the course will be engaged in topics that are vital to improving the game at all levels.
The Course is being handled by former FUFA Technical Director Asuman Lubowa, CAF instructor Jackson Nyima, who is thrilled with FUFA and CAF’s move.
‘The main purpose of CAF refresher programme is to provide active coaches with technical knowledge through CAF-run educational courses in the areas of coaching, refereeing, women’s football, futsal, beach soccer, and administrative and medical matters. These courses focus not just on the technical aspects of the game, but also on its social values, as people in a particular field should regard football as a thought of life. The principle behind CAF’s educational initiatives involves the teachers and participants passing on and exchanging know-how, experiences and information, which in turn finds its way back to the associations, instructors and other sectors of society such as the private sector, government bodies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs). CAF’s programme is tailor-made to meet the member associations’ requirements for education and courses’ Jackson Nyiima noted.
