SportsUnite’s humble vision to reach out to the youth at grassroots and promote the spirit of unity through sports continued with the successful organization of yet another unity event participated by 16 multi-racial netball teams in an under 16 event titled
“ U R MY SIS Unity Netball Carnival” held at the Bukit Jalil Sports School recently.
This unity netball carnival was fully supported by MILO,FigosBukit Jalil Sports School and Institut Sukan Negara.
It has become common knowledge to all participating in SportsUnite events that teams must comprise participants of at least 2 races at all playing times on the court.This event was no exception.While most teams had predominantly Malay participants with a few Indians in each team,it is the hope of SportsUnite that more Chinese and Indians girls will play this wonderful game in the future to reflect the spirit of 1Malaysia.
So successful was the unity concept in the event that the coaches and technical officials expressed the hope that SportsUnite with sponsors can support a Under 12 event in future.
