Kiwi Softball coach praises Botswana

He said the country has much potential to do even better if players trained harder. Henderson was speaking at the closing ceremony of a 12-day coaching course where 63 coaches graduated in Level One and Level Two. Half of the coaches were teachers.

The Kiwis mentor said all Botswana needed to do was to follow countries like New Zealand that "are doing well" and learn few lessons from them.  The course that was split into two groups of amateurs and seasoned coaches was meant to equip them with the latest rules of the game.  Henderson said he was impressed with the level of commitment some officials showed during the course. He hoped that the knowledge that he imparted to them during the workshop would go a long way in developing softball locally.
