Volleyball Teams in the Western and Western-North Regions become the latest group of Sporting teams to have benefitted from the community sports improvement program, following similar outreaches in Greater Accra, Ashanti and Central Region.
Betway, Africa’s leading booking marking site, extended support to local volleyball teams in the two regions as part of its “BetwayUp” initiative, which is aimed at growing and developing the sporting industry in Ghana.
Participating teams were taken through training sessions on sports science, coaching and fitness and received equipment donation from Betway.
Betway ambassador and former Black Stars captain, Stephen Appiah, with support from former National Volleyball and Basketball Captain Eric Antwi, took participants through a session on ‘Coaching Advice and Training” while Dr. George Chidi led the session on “Sports Science”.
Speaking to the media after the programme, Country Manager (Marketing) for Betway Ghana, Kwabena Oppong-Nkrumah, emphasized the company’s commitment to improving lives through sports.
“Betway has been in Ghana for about five years now and during this period, we have done programs like the Betway Talent Search and the 12th Man Project and this latest initiative, Betway Up is our way of supporting community sports.” – he stated
“Our hope is that in the coming months, a lot more community teams will benefit from this initiative,” he added.
