Empower 30 Young South African Leaders

Sometimes you just get captivated by a pulsating soccer match, enthralled with a new movie, or caught up in a good book. Before you know it, time has flown by. That’s how life at training4changeS has been this year. 2022 got off to a whirlwind start. Building on the solid foundation of years past, we entered the new year with ambitious plans to scale our impact. We set off by doubling the size of the Futsal Academy coaching staff. We needed 2 new coaches to help Quinton and Keke, and we’re overjoyed that we were able to bring in Lorenzo and Azola (familiar faces who have worked with training4changeS in the past, and who are fully invested in the vision). From there our team of coaches set off on course to increase Futsal Academy participation 150%. This year we added in a new age group, and we’ve been pushing towards our goal of having 45 boys in the Futsal Academy. With the pieces of the puzzle fitting into place, we’ve also welcomed 1 driver for our van + 4 new volunteers to help with our Education Inside the Classroom sessions. Things are running full tilt on the field and in the classroom. It’s a joy to see the training4changeS family growing, and while there are customary growing pains, we are excited about helping everyone fulfill their full potential. This wouldn’t be possible without your support, so we’re extremely grateful for the role you are playing in making things happen. The old cliché says teamwork makes the dream work. This really is true, and we appreciate you helping turn dreams into reality for the Futsal Academy boys!
