.coach brown...



..hi all, once again a bit of delay in writing but here goes...Football here is just about the most popular thing in Uganda and here at New Hope the boys love it so we thought hey lets start some coaching..so thats what tim and i and have taken on, at the moment we have under 13's and over 17's and the secondary school team..next plans are to set up a 14-16 year old team..we have developed the field which we are very proud of and we also have nets...one of the biggest challenges is to keep the footballs in one piece, punctures are a common/daily occurence..big african thorns being the culprit..always looking for kit/shoes etc as most of the boys play with bare feet and are amazing with it!
