September 2009

A Floorball training programme for younger children was conducted in the city of Parakou (about 400 km north of the Gulf of Guinea), which lies in the West African state of Benin. Despite little knowledge, the participants played with much enthusiasm on Saturdays. Eliakim, the young coach, played a great role in the proceedings and was a part of various sessions.
