Banda "BOLA" Soccer

African village of his childhood needs help

Why now? "I'm not getting any younger," Kalekeni Banda explains. He is 56.

In the 1980s, Kalekeni Banda helped put the University of Massachusetts women's soccer team on the map, coaching the Minutewomen to six consecutive NCAA appearances, including four trips to the Final Four. In 1987, his UMass women played for the national championship, losing 1-0 to the University of North Carolina. Twice he was a national coach of the year.

Children have right to play

Kalekeni Mtalika Banda has officially launched the The Chituka Village Project at Malena Mzoma Primary School in Chituka Village in Traditional Authority Malenga Mzoma, Nkhata Bay.

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 by players of all levels.

"Sports Days"

In many villages like Coach Banda’s Chituka Village of Malawi, “Sports Days” brings together players and fans from all classes. Like American sports, it’s a great social event…but at the end of the day, score is tallied by the number of friends made, not goals scored.
