Sierra Leone Flying Disc Association - SLFDA

🌍🎉 GLOBAL DAY OF PLAY 2026 | SIERRA LEONE 🇸🇱

What happens when we make time to play?

Today, we found out. ❤️

As part of Global Day of Play 2026, we brought children, young people and community members together for a day filled with laughter, movement, connection and, most importantly, PLAY! 🎉

Our celebration featured three exciting activities:

🔥 MINGLE MINGLE — breaking the ice, meeting new people, creating friendships and showing us that play can bring people together.

💪🏾 LAST MAN STANDING — a fun challenge of movement, focus, determination and resilience, with plenty of laughter and cheering along the way

🏃‍♂️ THE MOVING TRAIN - a playful physical activity that combines running with teamwork

But today was about more than just games

It was about creating a space where people could laugh, learn, connect and create memories through the power of play.

📸 We captured the moments.
🎥 We recorded the laughter and action.
💬 We shared experiences and reflections.
🌍 And now, we're sharing our story with our community and the world.

Because whether play happens in a school, community centre, sports field, park, beach or any other open space, every celebration is part of something much bigger — a global movement that believes play can create opportunities for learning, belonging, wellbeing and positive change.

Today, Sierra Leone played. 🇸🇱🌍

And our message is simple:

Don't just play today. Make time to play every day. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, played with us, cheered us on and helped make today's celebration memorable.

ACoaches Across Continentscross Continents for championing the power of purposeful play and creating a global platform for communities to share their stories.

The celebration may be today, but the impact continues every day.

PLAY. CONNECT. BELONG. CREATE CHANGE.

As the dust settles, Blessing holds on to the disc—and the game keeps moving forward. 🥏

Week by week at Prince of Wales School in Freetown, our players are building skill, confidence, and a future for ultimate in Sierra Leone.

What a day this was! Our Ultimate Frisbee Family Festival brought together families, friends, and future disc stars for an afternoon of fun, laughter, and community spirit! 💚💛

From first throws to full-on family games, it was incredible to see so many generations out on the field together, proof that ultimate frisbee really is a sport for everyone.

A huge thank you to every family who came out, every volunteer who made it happen, and everyone who believes in the power of sport to bring communities closer.

This is what SLFDA is all about; building community, one disc at a time. 🇸🇱

Today's training session 💪
The boys putting in the work!

Our hearts are with the WFDF Family during this sad time.

For all you do, you'll be dearly missed.
Rest in Peace Sheilah
