ZAMBIA ATHLETICS SUCCESSFULLY HOLDS YOUTH ATHLETE TRAINING SEMINAR IN NDOLA

Zambia Athletics (ZA) successfully conducted a Youth Athlete Training Seminar yesterday at Muuka Lodge in Ndola.

The seminar brought together athletes and coaches from three Ndola-based clubs - Ndola Bullets, Kansenshi Crushers and G-Track Athletics Club.

The training is part of ZA's national rollout programme to transfer knowledge acquired from the Olympic Solidarity Youth Athlete Coach Education Programme held in Nairobi, Kenya where the Association sent two Coaches and two Athletes for training. It is aimed at strengthening athlete development, enhancing safeguarding and anti-doping awareness, and preparing athletes for international competition.

The comprehensive course covered eight key modules:
- Training Principles and Planning
- Biomechanics
- Nutrition and Anti-Doping
- Safeguarding and Ethics
- Preparing to Compete Internationally
- Branding and Social Media
- Elite Athlete/Coach Experience Sharing
- Practical Application and Action Planning

Officially opening the seminar, Zambia Athletics President, Major Bernard Bwalya, urged young athletes to remain disciplined and consistent in training, emphasizing that athletics can open pathways to sports administration and a better life through sport.

Major Bwalya further challenged Ndola-based clubs to organize regular inter-club competitions and to establish training camps to accommodate athletes from distant areas.

Zambia Athletics reaffirms its commitment to providing continuous capacity-building programmes aligned with World Athletics best practices and will continue rolling out similar trainings to all provinces.
