The nationwide capacity-building training program powered by the Uganda Secondary Schools Sports Association (USSSSA) is moving in the right direction.
Sessions are ongoing at Lubiri SS in Kampala, Ntare School in Mbarara, St Mary’s Rushoroza in Kabale, Ngora High School, Sacred Heart in Gulu, and Ndejje University in Luweero.
Participants are training in different fields which include; football coaching and refereeing, netball coaching and umpiring, volleyball coaching, media and many others.
After spotting challenges in the school’s sports facilities, USSSA has introduced the Sports facilities management course currently ongoing at Ndejje University.
45 men and two ladies who are stadium managers, grounds men and teachers of different schools are attending the training.
Yesterday evening, the USSSA President Justus Mugisha together with the CEO Christopher Mugisha, capacity building national coordinator Patrick Okanya and other administrators paid a visit to the participants.
In his brief address, he encouraged participants to put what they have learnt into practice when they go back to their respective schools.
“Opportunities are available if you position yourselves very well and set strategies,” he concluded saying that the course will also be extended to other areas and students.
