Rays of Grace Academy commences football, netball trials

Rays of Grace Junior School Sports Academy will on Monday, 20^th January 2020 commence the trials for football and netball.

These trials will be conducted for children in the ages of 10 to 15 years at the school premises located at Kirugu in Njeru municipality.

According to the director of the school, Roberts Kiwanuka, these trials are intended to get a rich pool of talented youngsters and beef up the available squads with a reward of providing free education.

We have decided to stage these trials to get talents down there, develop them, provide quality Education. This is aimed at the grass-root development of the most-played sports in the world and feel that the lack of this feature is what’s hindering Uganda’s performances in the sports. This decision will not only allow players to get recognised but will also help them get better education, facilities and training which will ensure their better development till the senior levels.
