🏀 Every athlete has to start somewhere, and for Judah, this was the beginning of an exciting journey.

Through the National Sports Council's Primary Schools Basketball Rally, Judah had the opportunity to experience competitive basketball for the very first time. It was his first chance to play against other young athletes, learn the game in a fun environment, and continue developing his skills on the court.

The Basketball Rally is all about creating opportunities for young players to build confidence, make new friends, and discover a love for the sport. We can't wait to see how Judah's basketball journey unfolds 🏀

🏐 The National Sports Council recently hosted a Primary Schools Volleyball Rally, giving students from several schools the opportunity to discover and enjoy the sport in a fun, welcoming environment.

Designed as an introduction to volleyball, the rally focused on learning the fundamentals in a relaxed, low-pressure setting—making it the perfect way for young athletes to build confidence, develop new skills, and fall in love with the game.

We look forward to seeing many of these young players continue their volleyball journey!
