“Sport helps in so many aspects of life”
“Through sport you learn self discipline, work hard on a target, on a goal you want to reach and that also helps for your career or for your work.”
“These Games are for everyone!”
“There’s a lot of positives to play these tournaments and as I said before it’s more about participation, it’s about the vibe, just enjoying playing sport, regardless of the standard. There is something there for everyone. Everyone can join in.”
All levels are welcome to participate”
