The DNSS project courses that were done online and run by Uganda Hockey Association (UHA) alongside experts of the game and those in Olympic Sports governance way back in July saw 125 individuals fully take part in various sessions in either coaching or umpiring.
The participants qualified for the award of Level 1 International Hockey Federation (FIH) endorsed certificates in either coaching or umpiring.
The qualification will allow the 125 persons to coach or officiate matches at community, schools and club level.
The courses in question are the icebreakers for the entire one-year DNSS project worth thirty-one thousand, five hundred (31,500) US Dollars, with the main objective to take hockey to all the regions (Western, Eastern, Northern and Central) of Uganda; as well as supporting in the development of national structures and systems as the project’s name suggests.
For starters, DNSS project was granted to Uganda Hockey Association (UHA) by the Olympic Solidarity through the Uganda Olympic Committee to develop national structures and systems.
