Try again Soccer Club trains next to a busy Cape Flats highway and some of the youngsters are barefoot and hungry - but they dream of playing in the Premier Soccer League in five years. With "Mamma Coach" Nomvano Mbathiso's graduation from a programme at the University of Stellenbosch Business School's Small Business Academy the club's hopes are high.Mbathiso is armed with a business plan drawn up with the help of her mentor, Chalandra Naidoo, an MBA graduate and chief operating officer of Stellenbosch mobile development business, Blazingchilli.If all goes well, within a few years Mbathiso and her husband, Ndiko Hardson Mavata, will be rubbing shoulders with PSL owners Irvin Khoza and Patrice Motsepe."It is a big dream but we will try. That is why we called our team Try Again Soccer Club. I want us to be professional and I want my players to be proud of themselves," said the 39-year-old Mbathiso.She started the club a year ago to get young men off the streets.Despite being unemployed and living in a shack in Siqualo informal settlement, near Mitchell's Plain, with no running water or electricity, Mbathiso applied to the academy.Naidoo said that Mbathiso's frustrations would often surface as they spent hours working in internet cafes."I remember her saying: 'I don't know if my business is a business. I am not selling anything'," said Naidoo."She [Mbathiso] graduated last month and was named the most improved student. She was shy and not confident in the beginning but she has blossomed so much."Edith Kennedy, programme manager for the academy, said Mbathiso's business plan involved small membership fees for players, selling tickets for games, and forging partnerships with larger clubs."We have so far been able to teach Nomvano skills with which to register her business as a non-profit organisation to receive preferential tax treatment, but also to increase the number of her members, ensure a steady stream of income, and implement robust marketing efforts to secure sponsors," said Kennedy.Mbathiso has 52 players competing in Mandalay Local Football Association's senior, under-15, under-13 and under-9 leagues. Players come from areas such as Khayelitsha, Philippi and Samora Machel.The coach is passionate about her teams. She does not have any children "but now it feels like I am a mother to all the players. They call me Mamma Coach and my husband Pappa Coach".Mavata coaches every day."The younger ones are performing better at school. I am always encouraging them - they take me as a father. And when it comes to the older ones, nothing will make me prouder than seeing them become someone - playing for Bafana."Mihle Makawu, 10, said the couple had helped him believe one day he can be signed by Kaizer Chiefs...
