What is the difference between the Zain Africa Challenge Scholars Club and the Zain Scholars Team?
The Zain Africa Challenge Club members are selected by the liaison and/or the coach from among those who took the Student Tryout Test. It is recommended that 12-20 students be chosen from among those who scored well and demonstrated diverse knowledge on the tryout test. The club members must make a commitment to meet at least 2 times per week to learn the game and conduct practice drills. Club meetings should be scheduled during times when classes are not in session. After that evaluation period, the coach chooses the four students (three players plus one alternate) who will comprise the university’s Zain Africa Challenge Scholars Team. The team is selected on the basis of talent, enthusiasm and knowledge. It is important to select a team with diverse knowledge and strong, positive team spirit.
