I have been doing this for several years but this event marks a memorable one for me and the students. As you can see, the lads and lass are happy displaying their skills in a more conducive environment. It’s also an event for private owned schools to come together and feel what we have been feeling in sports. My outfit, Paddysco Sports is scheduled to engage and making everybody understand the importance of sports. Before now, we have been engaging the community and now we decide to engage schools. We are also aiming to catch the children young and to help them balance sports with education. When we spots a talented student or pupil, our aim is to lure him into our academy to enhance his growth. We also have owners of big academy hanging around here to scouts and I hope this event emerge a life changing event for the kids,’ he stated.
