The three days of table tennis training were very fruitful for us. We interacted with diverse people and learnt many things from each other. Moreover, the coaches were very encouraging and supportive.

Our summer football camp 2023 was truly memorable. For the first time we played a league tournament and got to learn more about playing together as a team. The sessions organised during the event have helped me boost my confidence and mental health.

Playing sports for the past five years has transformed my life in ways I never thought possible. Before sports, I was a shy and introvert girl with low self-confidence. I also struggled with mental health issues. But football changed everything. It made me a confident and strong person, and I now believe in myself and my abilities.
