PETALING JAYA: National archery coach Marbawi Sulaiman took time to guide 81 participants in an archery coaching course held in Sibu.
National development coach Arif Farham and another coach Sia Nen Hoh also joined Marbawi in imparting their knowledge on recurve and compound archers at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan (SMK) Lanang from July 4-7.
Three of the participants were from Brunei while 25 were from Sabah and the rest from Sarawak.
Those who passed the theory and practical tests set during the course will receive certificates from the National Archery Association of Malaysia (NAAM).
The objective of the course was to improve the development of archery in Sabah and Sarawak.
Through the course, they learnt about the theory, skills, new techniques, and equipment. They also put into practice what they had learnt over the four-day course.
NAAM said: "We would like to thank Sabah Education Department and Sarawak Education Department for their kind support in approving the leave for teachers to be part of this programme."
