A school teachers basketball coaching education finished at Mulunguzi Secondary School in Zomba on Sunday with participants hoping to impart knowledge gained to their students.

 

 

Nineteen teachers from secondary schools in Zomba were drilled in both theory and practical assessments of the game. The programme started in January and was being held during weekends only.
