This month at Cape Verde Sports Academy was filled with energy, dedication, and competitive spirit as our young athletes prepared for and participated in the Taça Graciosa Tournament. Training sessions focused on side-to-side games, passing drills, and reviewing key strategies to sharpen skills ahead of the matches. These practices helped both U-13 and U-15 teams stay match-ready throughout the tournament. The U-13 team even went to the top of the table!In addition to the tournament, a special visit to the Natural Park of Serra Malagueta was organized, offering students a refreshing and educational outdoor experience. This month blended intense sports competition with valuable life lessons in teamwork, perseverance, and appreciation for nature.
