Hollywoodbets Hillbrow
Madulamoho FC
Hollywoodbets Hillbrow chose Madulamoho FC as their team of choice for Hollywoodbets' Soccer Sponsorship Programme. The Hollywoodbets team talks about the club.
Coach John and the other volunteer coaches’ vision for the kids are to keep them off the streets, keep them away from crime and drugs. They are not only teaching the players the sport, but also teach them values, responsibility, skills, discipline and they give them a lot of love.
The team are very motivated and have the right attitude to run the activities on their own. They know education is very important and always bring report cards to the coach, who will have one-on-ones with them. Even if they have bad behaviour, the coaches will mould and groom them, and teach them the right ways in society. This team finished second on the log last year.
Challenges they are facing are parent participation and involvement, not necessarily just for funds and to support the children whilst playing their games, but also to love and support their children. Another challenge is transport to the matches, which the coaches most of the time fund from their own pockets.
