through the sports disciplines of soccer,basketball,tennis and swimming at different levels of age and competition.
Ligi Ndogo has made it part of its calendar of events and has been participating in the tournament since the first invitation in 2005.The soccer tournament missed a beat last year.
Three Ligi Ndogo categories have
been participating in the event for the past six years.These are:U9,U12 and
U14 teams.
The
tournament is normally held during the April holidays and runs for a
week.Ligi Ndogo caused eternal ripples at the first tournament when it
featured Hadija Omar,a female player,alongside male
participants.Skeptical at first,the organizers were won over when she
displayed skill unnatural for her age and gender.Haddija is now a junior at Matuu Girls school.
