KNYSNA NEWS - FAMSA Knysna, in conjunction with the Knysna Sport School, will be hosting a Life Skills Coaching Clinic presented by Ben Marais from Ubabalo: Hope through Sport (Cape Town) to be held at the Knysna Sport School on Friday and Saturday, August 9 and 10.

As a coach, one is uniquely able to fill the role as mentor and role model for the players in a team. Because many players grow up without loving, present fathers, coaches are in a position to validate their potential, establish authority, confer identity and provide a level of security to every player.

Coaching for Life is designed to support coaches as they teach the game of football while connecting it to Biblical stories that instil the values players will need in their daily lives. It is hoped that these sessions will be embedded into the heart of each player and will lead each player to true life.

All coaches are welcome to attend the two day clinic.

• Times: August 9: 09:00 - 16:00 and August 10: 09:00 - 14:00.
• Venue: Knysna Sports School Oval, Marlin Road, Fisherhaven.
• Cost: R125 per coach, which includes all the coaching material and lunches for both days. (Limited space - book and pay by July 13.) No refunds will be paid as a result of cancellation or non-attendance.

What to take: Bible (optional), pen, memory stick (optional), sport clothes for practicals and a willing heart.
