Petrichor Communities
Using sport for social change
Petrichor works with local coaches and academies to impact hundreds of children on a regular basis. PFA members use their academies to build their communities by investing in the youth through football training and mentorship.
Each member academy is committed to mentoring and coaching every child, regardless of skill level. All activities are documented and reviewed by our administrative team located in Yaoundé:
COMMUNITY IMPACT
Petrichor has a strong vision of positively impacting as many youth as possible in Cameroon. To achieve this ambition each PFA team regularly performs community service and gives back to the neighborhoods they operate in.
YOUTH MENTORSHIP
Petrichor Football Association member clubs have monthly requirements that support the position of each academy as a positive influence on their community. Additionally, the coaches and directors are clearly positioned as youth mentors instead of simply coaches.
FOOTBALL DEVELOPMENT
Petrichor provides training materials and free education for academies to teach best practices and effective instruction for every age level. Each coach is encouraged to develop the entire roster, instead of just the most gifted footballers. This philosophy successfully creates a more competitive academy from top to bottom.
