The Tanzania Netball Association (CHANETA) will conduct an international training programme for sports teachers and netball coaches from beginner level to Level Three, scheduled to take place from April 7 to 14 at the Benjamin Mkapa Hall in Dar es Salaam.
CHANETA Chairperson Stella Mwangomale said the training aims to strengthen the capacity of coaches and sports teachers by equipping them with modern knowledge and practical skills to help improve the standard of netball in Tanzania.
She explained that the programme will provide participants with an opportunity to learn new coaching techniques and strategies from countries that have made significant progress in netball development across Africa, including Uganda.
According to Mwangomale, the initiative is part of the association’s broader strategy to strengthen the sport by producing skilled players capable of competing at regional and international levels.
She noted that although Tanzania already has coaches who have received local training, the association is now expanding its efforts by introducing international training platforms where coaches can exchange experience and learn modern approaches to the game.
“For now we have coaches who have undergone local training, but we are widening the scope through international training so that they can share experiences and learn more advanced techniques,” she said.
Mwangomale added that the sessions will be facilitated by an experienced instructor from Uganda who has extensive expertise in coaching and developing netball.
She said CHANETA is continuing to implement various initiatives aimed at promoting and strengthening the sport in the country, including enhancing training programmes for coaches and referees to ensure Tanzania performs better in regional and international competitions.
The training is expected to attract participants from different regions of the country, creating new opportunities for the growth of netball while boosting competitiveness at various levels of the game.
