World governing soccer body (FIFA) has assigned SAFA’s Acting Technical Director Fran Hilton-Smith to conduct a five-day coaching course in Kampala, Uganda in grassroots development.

The FIFA coaching course which started on Monday, 20 May, is meant for development coaches; both men and women.

The course which entails taking part in theoretical and practical work will conclude on Saturday, 25 May 2013.

Hilton-Smith, who is a qualified FIFA instructor, says it is an honour and a privilege to be sharing her knowledge in grassroots football with the rest of the continent.

“It is an absolute honour and privilege to share my knowledge in Africa as a FIFA Instructor. Uganda has always been an active country in women’s football and hopefully this course will ensure that more players are developed for the future,” said Hilton-Smith.

The course is mainly being attended by teachers and coaches from all corners of this East African country.
