The Aga Khan Youth and Sports Board Mwanza actively engages the Jamat in a range of sports activities designed to foster unity, teamwork, and healthy competition. Two of the prominent sports being promoted are volleyball and throwball, with regular practice sessions and intercommunity matches held weekly.
Volleyball
Daily practice sessions and weekly intercommunity matches highlight the Jamat’s dedication to volleyball. This team sport thrives on the principles of unity and sportsmanship, where success is achieved through seamless teamwork. Each player has a specific role, but the collective effort leads to victory. The boys and men demonstrate remarkable coordination, with precise passes and synchronized attacks, as they compete passionately against teams from other communities.
Throwball
Similarly, throwball practices take place daily, with intercommunity matches once a week. This dynamic sport involves throwing and catching the ball to score points and win. Essential skills in throwball include throwing, catching, footwork, and agility. Our ladies enthusiastically participate, showcasing their competitive spirit as they face off against teams from other Asian communities.
The Aga Khan Youth and Sports Board Mwanza’s commitment to these sports not only promotes physical fitness but also strengthens community bonds and encourages a spirit of friendly competition.
