Mubende
The Uganda Primary Schools Sports Association (UPSSA) national ball games have been expanded by two new disciplines, with Kho Kho and woodball making their maiden appearances at the championship.
UPSSA President William Bwambale says the expansion is aimed at enabling learners in schools to get greater involvement in sports, and to help Uganda's primary schools section prepare for the increasingly expanding FEASSSA games.
Kho Kho attracted 25 teams while woodball attracted 30 teams. Kho Kho President Mustafa Nsubuga believes the sport will grow widely in Ugandan schools since it requires minimal equipment and is therefore affordable for everyone.
The games entered their fourth day of competition in the host city of Mubende, with athletes from 156 local governments competing in netball, volleyball, handball, and football across the age categories of U12 and U14.
UPSSA President William Bwambale said the four days of competition have been peaceful, with children exhibiting exceptional talent as residents watch and enjoy the championship.
