The sports programme enables young sports students to practice their coaching skills with young,
enthusiastic, very sporty and athletic Ghanaians. Ghanaians are naturally very fit, so fitness is not an issue,
neither is training or skill building. What teachers and pupils want and like, is more interaction with new ideas
and techniques, so that they can add these new training moves to their existing repertoire of drills and team
building lessons.
The sports masterclass programme is an exchange scheme, where the masterclasses are
exchanged. The Ghanaian teachers and sports coaches will give you their ideas and outline their training session,
which you will all participate in and then the UK students will deliver one of their schedules. This allows both
parties to learn from each other and gain insights into the different approaches and techniques that can produce
better skills, winning set-pieces and motivate the team to work together to be champions against their opponents.
There are many things to learn from each other, how teams are selected, in Ghana the selection criteria is
different to UK team selection; food and nutrition information - as the availability of foods and the staple
diet in Ghana - is totally different from the UK. All these apsects can be shared to build upon each person’s
sports coaching knowledge.
The predominate sports that the school children play in Ghana are; football, netball, volleyball and athletics
which includes running, javelin, shot-putt, long and high jump. The schools compete in inter-schools tournaments
in all of these sports, and they participate in a large KEEA District Sports and Athletics Meet to find the top
teams and athletes to represent the KEEA District at Inter-Regional Competitions. This selection process
culminates in the Schools National Finals held in the capital Accra. |
