Coach Development

Nceba Jonas had been the sole coach at Ukhanyo for 14 years when Vince van der Bijl first visited the school. He took every class for PT every day and coached netball. From their first meeting, Nceba said that developing coaches was the priority. Facilities would come later.

Nceba mentioned that he felt vulnerable as he had no official coaching certification. Our journey of empowering coaches began.
Cool Play run life-skills workshops training for our coaches, a key role in their development. Our coaches receive regular self-mastery sessions with HeadStrong Coaching.

By 2025, MasiSports+ has facilitated 21 certified training courses to build the capacity of the educator/coaches and our 16 MasiSports+ coaches. A reach of over 75 participants to date.

MasiSports+ strive to empower coaches to be independent decision makers. The Headmasters and staff with the guidance of the MasiSports+ team, run and manage the sports program at both schools.
