“Having been part of the first module, I have clearly seen the progress of the Young Coaches. You can now practice structured exercises, plan exercises as well as training sessions and in the second module they have learned how to change such exercises - for example, for children with disabilities. It was great to see what this module did for the Young Coaches,” says the experienced Austria Wien coach.
Mbwana, Young Coach from Dar es Salaam, is very enthusiastic about the training: “In this module I learned that football is for everyone, even for people with disabilities. We should by no means exclude people with disabilities from playing football, but instead everybody should play together and enjoy the sport.”
For many years, Austria Wien has been involved in the training of young football coaches in disadvantaged regions of the world as part of the Football Club Social Alliance of the Scort-Foundation. Following the successful completion of the first module in Tanzania in April, the second module was held from July 7th to 10th, 2019 in Tanga, a port city in the northeast of the country.
The 40 young coaches from various regions of Tanzania were trained further during four intensive days. In addition to the training for different age groups, the focus was on designing exercises for people with disabilities. The goal was to teach the participants how they can integrate all children and thus internalize the idea of inclusion.
In the context of two major festivals, the Young Coaches were able to put everything they learned into practice with many children from the region. Around 50 children and adolescents with intellectual disabilities were invited to the first festival. “Today's event was great. It will definitely help me to work with people with disabilities in the future,” says Young Coach Mbwana.
“In the feedback discussions, many of them mentioned that they now want to include children with disabilities in their program. They want to actively promote it in their communities and organizations”, emphasizes Austria Wien coach Patrick Haidbauer.
During the second festival, which attracted over 150 girls and boys between the ages of six and twelve, the motivated group also showed what they learned during their training. “I was particularly pleased that the feedback talks made it very clear that everything we teach is really being used. Every single point that we addressed in theory as well as in practice was felt to be very important. We hit it right on the nose,” explains Haidbauer.
The training was supplemented by a workshop organized by the local organization PASADIT on child and youth protection. This gave the Young Coaches a deeper understanding of how to protect and interact with children and adolescents, and how to act in the event of violence and abuse.
The Young Coach training program in Tanzania is conducted by the FCSA and Scort in close collaboration with the Tanga City Council and other project partners and supported by the Fondation Botnar. The third and final training module will be held in autumn 2019.
