There were challenges with heavy rains in Cape Verde, which meant fewer training days outdoors. Despite this, Coach Ivandro kept the spirit of the program alive by running small side games whenever the skies cleared. These sessions, though modest in size, gave the children a chance to stay active, sharpen their teamwork and find joy in play even when conditions weren’t ideal.
The project continues to focus on building confidence through sport. With limited resources and unpredictable weather, creativity is key – from simple drills to group games that encourage collaboration and communication. Even on quieter weeks, the consistency of having a safe space to gather makes a big difference for the young athletes.
