4th Batch of NIS/ LSFA Training of Grassroot Coaches Begins
In continuation of the training programme for football grassroot coaches which commenced last year in Lagos State, organized by the National Institute for sports Lagos and the Lagos State FA , another batch is set to resume training.
According to the Chairman of the Lagos State Football Association Hajji Gafar Liameed” Based on the successes recorded from the previous three batches, we are resuming the next batch on Saturday February 22nd, 2025 at the National Institute for sports Lagos.
Those trained are better off than before and there is huge awareness about the programme better now, hence many coaches have joined the train signifying desire to be trained. Lagos State has set the pace, others states are seeking to catch up with the tempo we have set. “
He said More than 100 coaches registered for the training, but only 100 will be allowed to participate in order to sustain the quality and standards NIS put in place in the previous trainings. We hope to consolidate on what has been built. We thank the Director-General of NIS Professor Olawale Moronkola for his pragmatic approach to the training .”
The training is targeted at grassroot coaches in Lagos State to upscale their knowledge in modern Football coaching techniques.
Top rated coaches like former Super Eagles Assitant coach Fatai Amoo, Nduka Ugbade, Peter Nieketien, James Adesina are some of the resource persons.
Director-General of NIS Professor Olawale Moronkola hinted that the response of coaches is encouraging the Institute to be ready to run similar ones for any state in other parts of the country.
