“Apart from the development of athletes, coaches, referees and technical officers are also among the main focuses actively implemented by Sabana because they are the backbone of the sport.
“Sabana believes in the importance of development from the grassroots, coaches and referees need to be improved to produce more qualified coaches thus helping to produce elite level athletes.
“We will work with PBJM to continue organising the courses in the state of Sabah,” he said during the Sabana 2024 Fundraising Dinner here on Friday.
The ceremony was attended by the State Governor’s wife, Toh Puan Norlidah R.M Jasni, who completed the presentation of netball awards to two experienced coaches, Doresia Lomongkok (Licence B) and Halleinah Tuanggaak (Licence C).
