Obama's visit will come well for sports in Tanzania "writen by Nasongelya Kilyinga from Daily News paper on July 01,2013

THE arrival of US President Barack Obama in the country  means a lot for the local sports scene, especially basketball, which for the past decade or so has received tremendous support from the world’s basketball powerhouse.

Obama is well known for his love of sports. He has always been a loyal basketball fan -- and later in his life, he became a golf fan. The president supports his hometown basketball team, the Chicago Bulls, and was quoted by the Guardian of UK in 2009 that whenever he gets a spare moment to relax, he likes to check out their (Chicago Bulls) progress in the sports pages.

Many hope Obama’s visit in Tanzania will inspire young basketball players to progress and prosper in the sport and many expect his two-day stay in the country will help add much thrust to the Tanzania Basketball Federation (TBF) ambitions to reinvigorate the sport, which needs expertise and investments on youth development programmes to grow.

Just early last month, TBF, backed by President Jakaya Kikwete and through support from the US Embassy in Tanzania, appointed experienced US coach Albert Sokaitis as Director of the National Basketball Programmes. President Kikwete is paying salary of the US coach, who is highly expected to help raise the standard of the sport and conduct clinics and training to build the capacity of local coaches.

“I have been charged with the responsibility to direct the men’s and women’s Olympic programmes and start a nation wide grassroots basketball programme. Tanzania hopes to use basketball as a source for developing leadership and teamwork while encouraging healthy activities for their young adults,” the coach has said. TBF remained confident that his (Sokaitis) arrival will help turn around the country’s basketball fortunes.

TBF Assistant Secretary General, Michael Maluwe, said the arrival of the coach was a key step in the basketball promotion particularly for young players, while the federation’s president Mussa Mziya said the coach would embark on special programme to search for talents and develop them for the period he will be in charge depending on the availability of funds through sponsorship.

This is the first time for the basketball federation to deploy a coach on a long term basis for promotion of the game. TBF focuses on promotion of the game through participation of young players particularly in schools where they are readily available. “We came to know coach Sokaitis through another US basketball coach Greg Brittenham, who visited Tanzania in 2012.

Later, we got a lot of information about him from the internet on the good work he was doing in different countries – China, Lebanon, etc. We were satisfied that Sokaitis is a supper coach,” said Maluwe. Maluwe said since the TBF appointed Sokaitis to be the Tanzania basketball head coach there has been a kind of awareness to the basketball community that the country has now acquired the services and the kind of a coach it needed for years.

“There is a bright future for Tanzania basketball under Coach Al (Sokaitis). In just a short span of his reign, he has done a tremendous job, training young coaches and secondary school kids. He also managed to identify talented kids. “In fact, I and my colleagues at TBF are happy and encouraged by what the coach is planning for the game in Tanzania.

Since we have talents around all ages, we believe in few years to come, we will have a good number of players whom we believe can bring back the lost hope,” said Maluwe. Definitely, the TBF and Sokaitis are aware that massive investments especially on youth development programmes were a must; if at all the country is to attain success in the sport.

Tanzania is facing acute shortage of play grounds for all sports and for basketball the problem is even extensive magnitude. Only few dilapidated basketball courts are available, meaning that there was a limited space for youths to take part in the sport. Balls and other playing kits such as jersey and boots also remains to be a big challenge as local corporate have always been reluctant to support other sports other than -- football.

“What we need, and what Coach AL discovered in Tanzania, is unavailability of enough basketball infrastructure – courts, balls and other game equipments. We appeal to all people of basketball to assist Tanzania to build this capacity in the game,” Maluwe said.

Maluwe believes that the Obama delegation will not overlook sports and seized the opportunity to call for major investments to help improve basketball standard in the country. He said since Obama was coming with a delegation of business people, they (TBF) expect some of these business people will help inspire giants’ sports kits/apparels manufacturing companies such as Nike,

Stephen Curry ndani ya Bongo August 01' 2013 katika Viwanja vya Don Bosco Oysterbay Vijana wote wa maeneo ya Karibu mnakaribishwa kwa ajili clinic kuanzia saa tano asubuhi (5:00) muhimu kufika hata kwa Wachezaji wote wa mpira wa Kikapu

Golden State Warriors point guard Stephen Curry has supported the Nothing But Nets campaign since his days at Davidson College.  Now a star in the NBA, Curry vowed to donate three life-saving bed nets for every three point shot he made during the 2012-2013 season to help protect families in sub-Saharan Africa from malaria.  After breaking the single-season record for the most three pointers made in a single season, Curry will donate more than 800 insecticide-treated bed nets.

Curry’s generous “Three for Three Challenge” helped Nothing But Nets provide partners in Chad, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, and other countries in Africa with critically needed bed nets. Every 60 seconds a child dies from malaria. But bed nets provide a simple, cost-effective solution, and can reduce the spread of malaria by up to 90 percent in areas with high coverage rates. Since 2006, generous supporters have given Nothing But Nets more than $45 million to send over 7 million bed nets to mothers and children across Africa. It takes just $10 to send a net and save a life.

Curry was selected by Golden State in the first round of the 2009 NBA Draft (7th overall).  He entered 2012-13 owning career averages of 17.5 points, 4.1 rebounds, 5.8 assists and 1.67 steals in 34.0 minutes He also entered the season as the only player in NBA history with career percentages of at least .470 from the field, .440 from three-point range and .900 from the foul line.  He was a member of the 2010 USA Men's Basketball Senior National Team that went 9-0 and won the Gold Medal at the 2010 FIBA World Championships in Turkey.
