The FITB trained coaches in Nigeria this week as Julio Calegari, International Development Director ran the first ever coaching course in the West African country.  The 'C' level coaching course is designed for beginner coaches and is particularly important as countries develop tchoukball.

Afterwards, Julio commented:

"The FITB has standardised coaching courses that it runs across the world.  It is wonderful to bring tchoukball to a diverse continent like Africa and never more vital that those volunteers working with tchoukball across all continents teach tchoukball the same way and with the same high standards.  Coaching courses like this are a cornerstone of sports development, and it was excellent to have the opportunity to train these people personally."

Chris Huang, President of the FITB was also pleased to support Nigeria:

"Tchoukball is a sport for all, no matter where you are in the world.  It's vital the FITB continues to work across the world to bring our great sport to all nations."
