Atomic Gateway Sporting Academy
Community and Family Engagement
Sports has a unique ability to bring us together in such a way that allows us to transcend our differences and find common ground. AGSA is committed to finding creative ways to use sports to inspire positive social change and reinforce good behavior. To this end, the academy organized activities such as clean-up activities in the community to bring parents and other community members together. The After-School and Saturday Programmes: Our After-School programme takes place every Wednesday and Friday between 3:00pm and 6:30pm and offers the perfect mix of short teaching and learning (T&L) sessions on our beautifully well–manicured lawns with mats to comfortably seat the young people (boys and girls) and taking them through challenging trainings. Our well known AGSA Saturday programme is the main event of the week, where all our AGSA superstars regardless of their soccer level, express their passion for the most beautiful game as they play and develop in an ambience of fun and friendship, their special technical soccer skills, supported by our experienced technical bench. The Saturday programme starts from 2 pm to 6:30 pm. This comprises extended teaching sessions from various resource persons followed by a question and answer(Q&A) segment after which training follows at the park. These resource persons include footballers (nationals playing in the national team and international clubs, ex-footballers, coaches, referees and football administrators who visit and to share their experiences with the young people The T&L sessions are for girls and boys alike!
​
Vacation Programmes: During school breaks, we meet the boys daily. Our vacation programme takes place every Monday to Friday between 3:00pm and 6:30pm.
Refreshments after training: We recognize the need for good nutrition, which is why we provide FREE snacks and nutritional meals after our meetings in addition to water. Refreshments include warm or hot milo/cocoa drink depending on the season, cold bisap drinks and kenkey smoothie (popularly called ‘mashke’) served with slices of bread with margarine, honey or peanut butter. Biscuits and fruit juices are also served.
​
Community Outreach: Because the families of our members mean so much to AGSA, we reach out regularly to the communities nearby to visit the families and get to know them better. In some cases, the academy has provided some support to some needy families. So make your Soccer Dream a reality! Bring along your passion, your energy and your biggest SMILE!
