LeFA incorporates FIFA to train local referees
LeFA Technical Director Leslie Notsi
LeFA Media Officer, Mikia Kalati said the workshop will be attended by 35 participants under the facilitation of Gladys Mweemba (Technical) from Zambia and Mark Mzengu (Physical) from Malawi.
The two will be assisted by local instructors including Khotso Makhetha (Technical) and Selloane Mphuthing (Physical).
LeFA through its Technical Director's office spearheaded by Leslie Notsi has recently been holding a series of coaching and refereeing clinics throughout the country in a bid to increase the pool of local match officials and coaches.
The clinics are preliminary as they target people from the grassroots.
After being trained by facilitators drawn from the structures within the association, the participants are put on LeFA data base to give them a chance for further training like basics for the match officials or D licences for coaches.

Each of the 10 DIFA offices identifies potential candidates for training in and the office of the Technical Director provides the facilitators and training material including soccer balls, bibs and cones which are used during practical and demonstrations.
The first DIFA to get the coaching training was Berea, followed by Thaba Tseka and the last was Leribe. Mafeteng, Quthing and Mohale's Hoek are next in the line.
LeFA has already held coaching clinics for women in a bid to promote local female referees. LeNA
