The program transitioned from an intensive classroom theory session to practical drills on the pitch.

“We had a good training session for Quadball at Uhuru complex. The participants went through theory and practical drills, all eager to learn more about the sport” Michael Smith Mugote, the lead instructor remarked.

Despite a heavy downpour, the athletes’ spirits remained unbroken as they pushed through physical practice in the rain.

The session was led by Mugote, supported by Coach Eunice Ajiambo and coach-player Fazil Afazi.

Looking ahead, the Quadball Federation of Kenya is focused on establishing a sustainable local league—aiming to be the first of its kind in Africa.

This initiative serves as a foundation for forming a national team to represent Kenya at the International Quadball Association Quadball World Cup 2027, where the federation hopes to showcase African talent on the global stage.

 Training continues next weekend (Saturday and Sunday) at 2:00 PM at the same venue.
