Ebenezer Frimpong, Head of Sports Unit, GRA

Hockey Farm Sports, in collaboration with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) Sports Unit, is set to organise a two‑day capacity‑building program for coaches across Ghana, aimed at upgrading coaching knowledge, enhancing professional standards, and creating a platform for peer learning and experience sharing among coaches from various sporting disciplines.

The program, dubbed “Join The Coaching Conversations,” is scheduled for 21st–22nd October 2026 at the National Hockey Stadium, Accra.

According to the organisers, the training will focus on six key thematic areas: Effective Coaching, Role of a Coach, Risk Management, Planning and Delivering a Session, Teaching Approach, and High‑Performance Challenges.

The facilitator for the two‑day event is Mr. Ebenezer Frimpong, Chief Executive Officer of Hockey Farm Sports and Head of Sports for the Ghana Revenue Authority. Mr. Frimpong is a certified Coaches Educator and holds a Master’s Degree in Sports Management.

Speaking ahead of the event, Mr. Frimpong said the number of participants has been intentionally limited to ensure quality engagement and practical delivery.

He explained that the program was conceived to address gaps in coaching knowledge and promote professional development at both the grassroots and elite levels.

“We are looking at not more than 40 people. It will cover all types of coaches,” he said. “The program is designed to help coaches upgrade their knowledge, create awareness of best practices, and provide an environment for coaches to share experiences.”

Mr. Frimpong noted that the two‑day event is completely free for all selected participants, with Hockey Farm Sports Ltd absorbing all associated costs.

“It is free to all participants. Hockey Farm Sports Ltd is taking care of certification, snacks, water, and lunch for the two‑day program,” he said.

He added that participants will receive certification at the end of the training as part of efforts to formalise coaching education and encourage continuous professional development within the sports sector.

The National Hockey Stadium is expected to host coaches from various sporting disciplines, including hockey, football, athletics, and other federations.
