America’s culture loves sport and physical activities with no sport receiving as much excitement and growth as soccer.  As a result of this popularity of soccer in America, the public is realizing the important movement skills developed through soccer.  Although the values of movement for children are being established, our society is rapidly changing toward the urban technological way of life which de-emphasizes physical education for children.

As children become affected by these changes, teachers and coaches must cooperate to prevent the inadequate movement education of children.  Furthermore to be successful and enjoy soccer as a lifetime activity, a young player must learn the basic movement techniques associated with the game.  Coach Kalekeni Mtalika Banda has developed a soccer movement program and has been teaching its important sport related skills to young soccer players for over 20 years.  He calls this teaching system, Banda “BOLA”

• Banda “BOLA” will enhance your child’s fundamental movement repertoire with patterns specific to the game of soccer. 
  
  This enjoyable movement approach to ball possession is easily understood and successfully by players of all levels.  Rhythmical movements, forward, backward, side to side, and diagonally are combined to produce creative soccer movement.  Your child will have a technical introduction to the skills much of the world already knows.  With continued practice, players can develop the strength, power, flexibility, agility, coordination and spatial awareness into the rhythmical soccer techniques necessary to successfully compete in today’s game.
  
  

• The Banda “BOLA” system teaches soccer specific movement skills that, when used efficiently and effectively, creates space. 
  
  Individual movement creates individual space therefore team movement creates team space.  The basic movement concept is taught to increase a player’s individual space within the general space of playing area.   Therefore, the field player is able to be more effective in this larger team-oriented space.  Increased space allows the player more time to make better decision and perform skillfully.  Thus, the soccer layer, within the team environment, is afforded the opportunity to create more effective and positive plays.
