We organize round-robin inter-school mini games exclusively for our member schools. These competitive yet fun events provide students with valuable match experience and foster teamwork and sportsmanship. As the mini games progress, they culminate in a main tournament held twice a year, offering players the opportunity to showcase their skills on a larger stage. Our structured tournaments not only promote healthy competition but also build a strong sense of community among participating schools.

During school holidays, we offer exciting holiday camps designed to keep children engaged while enhancing their football skills. Our camps provide a fun, structured environment where young players can develop their technique, fitness, and teamwork under the guidance of experienced coaches. These camps not only boost performance but also help children stay active and make new friends, all while deepening their passion for the game.
