Roshni Homes Trust partnered with Fortis Sports Academy to initiate a football training boot camp for the children at the Palms Enclave Campus.

Fortis Sports Academy is the brainchild of Hajra Khan. She is the captain of the Pakistan Women’s Football National team and has represented Pakistan in numerous tournaments internationally. Fortis focuses on sports as an integral part of a child’s development both physically and mentally.

Under the direct supervision of Hajra Khan, the 2 day boot camp was held at Palms Enclave. A total of 31 children took part in the boot camp from ages ranging from 10 to 14 years old.

Hajra Khan, assessed the children individually and focused on the basic techniques where children lacked. The children were made to do tackling and dribbling drills. Shooting & passing skills were discussed and practiced.

Overall this boot camp was a resounding success especially among the children who are very fond of playing football and also participate in their respective school teams. Roshni Homes Trust and Fortis Football Academy plans to make this workshop a bi-annual event in our calendars for continuous sports developmental support.
