PMSS’s collaboration with SAFA

Mosimane emphasizes that PMSS is not an outsider but works alongside the South African Football Association (SAFA). The coaches hired have undergone SAFA’s CAF D license course, ensuring PMSS complies with SAFA’s guidelines.

PMSS coaches selection criteria

PMSS coaches are selected based on their proficiency in football development programs and their geographical proximity to the areas they will serve. This approach strengthens the grassroots aspect of the initiative, fostering a deeper and genuine connection between the coaches and students.

Coach education program

PMSS implements an intensive coach education program that evaluates potential coaches’ ability to comprehend and implement the program’s philosophy and principles. Augustine Makalakalane oversees the process.

PMSS’s mission and partnership with Curro

PMSS aims to elevate South African football to new heights by enhancing grassroots football and providing a platform for coaches to refine their skills. The partnership with Curro highlights the shared goal of fostering growth and development within South Africa’s football community.

PMSS’s momentum continues to grow, shaping the future of South African football. Tlou Molekwane’s journey from an Amakhosi player to a critical figure in the PMSS coaching staff serves as an inspiration to aspiring football coaches. PMSS’s continued growth and evolution promise more success stories, solidifying its position as a driving force behind South African football’s future.
