The Body Fitness Centre (BSC) at Dansoman was the venue on Saturday, June 7th, 2025 for the anticipated seminar organised by the Functional Sports League Ghana (FSLG) in collaboration with the National Sports for All Federation (NASFAG) for other sports federation heads, representatives from Keep Fit Clubs, and fitness organisations.
Mr. Charles Owusu Ansah, the President of Functional Sports League Ghana, briefed on the genesis of functional sports, the purpose plus objectives of the seminar, and the aims. Goals, opportunities, challenges, and prospects for participants.
He urged other federations to join the FSLG to train their athletes professionally to achieve high-level performance.
He noted that Keep Fit Clubs and other institutions have been going the same way with aerobics and health walks as a way of building fitness capacity. But there is more they can do.
“It is time to upgrade and not to be doing the same things all over again and again,” he expressed.
He called for support and inclusivity among sporting groups and from the media, as well as related stakeholders.
Some of the participants shared their experience on the seminar, with most accepting to be part and adhering to using social media to interact and create a larger and wider base.
The seminar, which was well attended, was supported by Electroland Ghana Ltd., distributors of NASCO products. Nuerkies Hub. High Protein Recovery, Greystone Gym, Afrofit Global Fitness Foundation, the International Functional Fitness Federation (IF3), and powered by Health & Fitness Matters.
