A SOUTH Cheshire College student is jetting off to Kenya to deliver sports coaching to primary school youngsters this weekend.

Adam Bayley is putting the big British freeze on ice to head for the warmer climes of Africa where he will help children develop their skills in popular sports such as football and volleyball.

The trip of a lifetime is being driven by Multiflex Ltd – a local organisation which delivers coaching sessions to up to ten primary school pupils in Cheshire each week.

A number of the schools which use Multiflex have links with schools in Kenya and have helped pave the way for the visit.

Adam, 20, works part time for Multiflex on Thursdays and Fridays to complement the skills he learns on his course in Coaching and Fitness at the college’s Dane Bank Avenue campus.

Adam will join Mark Webb, director of Multiflex, two other Multiflex employees and eight teachers from Cheshire primary schools, to deliver the two-week programme which culminates with a sports festival.

During their visit the party will fly into Nairobi before heading to Njoro where the schools are located.

They will also take a batch of sports equipment to deliver to the youngsters who don’t have access to the same facilities as pupils in Britain.

Adam and other members of the team will coach youngsters in football, volleyball and other activities before the children test their skills in the festival which will act as a grand finale.

Adam said: "I’ve been working for Multiflex for a number of months now and when the opportunity to go to Kenya arose I jumped at it.

“My first love is football but I enjoy delivering coaching in all school sports and other activities and engaging with local primary school children.

“I’ve never ventured further than Europe before but I can’t wait to get out there to work with the African children and feel it’s a great privilege.

“I’m looking forward to putting what I’ve learnt on my college course and at Multiflex into practice.

“I think this is something good to put on my CV and I may never get the opportunity to do it again."
