WINDHOEK – The 2018 Bank Windhoek and Marathon Sugar training clinics for athletes and coaches will be held in Windhoek this weekend, before action moves to the coastal town of Swakopmund from September 10-11.
Athletes and coaches will be trained over two days in each town. The Coaches Forum, presented by the Namibia National Olympic Committee, will share important notes with coaches, parents and teachers on September 8 at SKW in Windhoek. International coach Ans Botha will give a special presentation at the forum.
The training clinics, which were formerly presented by the late Quinton Steele Botes, still continue and is made possible with the generous support of sponsors Bank Windhoek, Marathon Sugar and Coca Cola.
Top South African coaches Charley Sthormenger and Lynly de Beer will conduct the coaching clinics. The purpose of the clinics is to empower all coaches countrywide to work with athletes at ground level, transfer their knowledge, discover new talent and develop athletes so that they compete on national level.
In 2016, the training clinics were presented in the northern regions, in 2017 in Hardap and this year it will take place in Erongo. For more information contact Leoni at leonivr123@gmail.com or 081 127 1193.
