The Ghana Federation of American Football (GFAF), in collaboration with the Ghana Education Service, will host a National Coaches Clinic in Accra to equip coaches with the skills needed to successfully implement flag football in schools nationwide.
The 10-day event, divided into two phases from May 12-16 and May 19-23, 2025, will take place at the University of Ghana.
It will bring together 16 physical education regional coordinators from the Ghana Education Service across all 16 regions, four representatives from the national Physical Education coordinator’s office, and seven youth leaders selected from the NKWA annual camps.
Led by experienced technical instructors from the USA, with Coach David Grimes at the helm, the clinic will combine theoretical and practical training to ensure coaches are well-prepared to develop young athletes.
Mr. Mohammed Osman Nkosi, a key stakeholder in the GFAF, emphasised the clinic’s importance, stating,
“Sustainable football development hinges on coaches mastering effective coaching methods. As we gear up for intensive flag football programs in schools, this clinic will empower coaches to guide our youth successfully.”
The Ghana Federation of American Football, under the leadership of NFL player Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, is the recognised governing body dedicated to promoting and advancing American football in Ghana. The federation has outlined strategic measures to foster the sport’s growth across the country.
This clinic marks a significant step toward building a strong foundation for flag football in Ghana’s schools, ensuring a brighter future for the sport.
