On 18 and 19 March, Sport In Action, in partnership with the Duke of Edinburgh International Award Zambia, conducted orientation training sessions in Kasama and Luwingu.

The training brought together teachers and staff from the Ministry of Youth, Sport and Arts Youth Resource Centre as part of an initiative aimed at working collaboratively with government to strengthen youth development opportunities through sport.

The sessions introduced participants to the Sport in Action Hubsite programme and explored how sport can be used to create safe, inclusive spaces where young people can learn, grow, and build life skills.

Participants were also introduced to the basics of netball, including rules, player positions, and the responsibilities of each role on the court.

The session concluded with a practical netball game that allowed participants to apply what they had learned, demonstrating how sport can be used to build skills and create engaging learning environments for young people.

Sport In Action extends appreciation to Volunteer Zambia Foundation for supporting the initiative and the resource centre with essential sports equipment, including netball goal posts, balls, and other key materials that will help sustain sporting activities for young people in the community.
