Infact the  EYP U15 Girls team is the runner up in the 2010 Uganda Women independence championship played at Old Kampala field.

16.04.2009 'DOUBLE PASSING' Theme for holiday Program!

First term Holiday Program will begin on 27th April 2009 and the theme for the program will be Double Passing.This was revealed by Assistant Communications Manager Coach Segirinya Saidi. Segirinya says double passing is a type of pass where a ball is played diagonally between two teammates in a v-shape who are trying to beat an opponent. This type of pass helps players develop mentally, improve on the accuracy of passing, improve on their reaction and speed as well as utilizing space while overcoming an opponent. It is a surprise and quick move that involves 2 players overcoming an opponent and is usually played while attacking.In real life situation double passing can be related to sharing ideas and working as a team to achieve a common goal. There is need for the children to know that by passing on ideas (things they know) to one another, the message reaches to many and in the end they all become winners. Double passing involves an element of team work players should not  be mean with the ball but rather share it through passing. So we intend to teach the young ones the importance of sharing for instance knowledge, food, refreshments, and many others things that happen off field but can be related to double passing on the field of play. The Holiday program will begin on 27th April at Aga Khan Primary School after the kids get holidays next week. Segirinya said, "We shall emphasize team work and sharing with each other among the children". Registration is going on at EYP offices along Martin Road near Quality Super Market opposite Petro fuel station.
