The training, held at Fam Sports Arena Basketball Court in Kitengela on Tuesday, was organised by the Agence Française de Développement (AFD) Group and NBA Africa under the Basketball Experience programme.

The Basketball Experience Disability Inclusion (BE-DI) Teachers Awareness Day equipped educators with practical skills to teach basketball fundamentals while accommodating children with diverse learning needs.

The full-day programme combined classroom instruction and on-court training based on the Jr. NBA curriculum, with an emphasis on safe, age-appropriate and inclusive coaching practices.

Through adaptive coaching techniques, accessible activities and inclusive curriculum design, the initiative seeks to break down barriers that prevent children with disabilities from participating in sport.
