Interview with Adam Rousmaniere

After spending 5 weeks coaching in Blantyre, Malawi, Adam Rousmaniere shares his thoughts on his experiences in Africa and his work with Coaches across Continents.

Malawi Street Soccer

Coaches across Continents and Play Soccer Malawi collaborated to organize exciting street soccer matches that brought together Play Soccer coaches and playeres with local street vendors and market sellers. These matches not only brought entertainment to the community, but also served as a venue to address issues like crime and local sanitation.

Play Soccer "Strikes Gold"

Before leaving Malawi, the Coaches across Continents team was again featured in the Malawi national press. While leading a training session at Kamuzu National Stadium, Christian Aviza spoke with a journalist from The Daily Times about grassroots development in Malawi and CaC's three year commitment to Play Soccer Malawi. That same morning David Williams participated in a short interview with a reporter from the nation's government radio station reflecting on the CaC team's five weeks of work in Blantyre.
