Orphans
and vulnerable children and aspiring coaches alike
respond to creative, fun, dynamic training programs
that value juggling important life decisions as much
as juggling a soccer ball. Along with physicians and
health educators, passionate professional athletes
and coaches visit with aspiring coaches to train them
to lead the children in their own communities on and
off the field.
Our
coaches' curriculum blends teaching the fundamentals
of team-building, knowledge of the game, and skill
mastery with priceless lessons about how to prevent
HIV infection and how to live with the harsh reality
of the pandemic. By training these coaches in federation-sanctioned
programs, we offer them not only a chance to be a
mentor and role model, but a chance to have a marketable
job.
The
HIV/AIDS curriculum is taught through a variety of
soccer and basketball skills. Not only do we work
to educate players and coaches about how to prevent
contracting HIV, but we work to de-stigmatize those
who have the virus. Teamwork on and off the field
makes life easier.
