The Sports Club will also provide accommodation and meals for either an educator or a trainer during these courses.

“The partnership with Mombasa Sports Club is a pivotal moment for the club and to Coast rugby. It presents an opportunity for the region to develop a quality workforce. It will only be a matter of time before the results on the field reflect this investment in Training and Education. Other clubs and regions are encouraged to take a leaf out of Mombasa’s book and start developing their workforce,”said Paul Odera
