…..and you\u2019ll soon come to Kasese, a dusty frontier style town, built on copper & cobalt mining.<\/p>\n
Day5\u2019s coaching was up the mining valley to Kilembe, past the still evident devastation of landslides 3 years ago.<\/p>\n
On a flat grassy arena teachers from local schools arrived, many walking over an hour up the hill, for a hot morning coaching and learning with Chris & Bill.<\/p>\n

Innocent, Margaret, Johnson, Martha, Teddy and all the 10 others took part enthusiastically, showing some skill or little skill, but a great willingness to learn. As always, when adults are asked to play silly games, we all become kids again, so there were a lot of screams & giggles as we played \u201cHeads, shoulders, knees & toes..\u201d<\/p>\n
We returned to serious mode when discussing links between cricket and the ABCT message; everyone paid close attention to these links.<\/p>\n
Chris led most sessions, and this old coach was happy to learn new approaches from him, just as much as teachers were.<\/p>\n
Skills drills were good Finn, with teachers asking questions and practicing enthusiastically. Some could hit a ball hard, some could bowl well; most displayed natural abilities which were mirrored in the children they taught.<\/p>\n
Several pupils were asked along to the session; they helped greatly by showing their all round skills, and by running around energetically to collect the balls their teachers had hit!<\/p>\n
At the end of the afternoon, after an extra short session on running and bowling, teachers wearing their \u201cBowling AIDS out of Uganda \u201c announced they had learned a lot, but Innocent added \u201c I\u2019ve learned that the most difficult cricket skill is bowing!\u201d<\/p>\n
