SPORTS ASSOCIATION

SPORTS TOURNAMENTS

From its auspicious beginnings in 2001, the soccer tournaments now boast more than 5,000 participants in three age groups: Under 12, Under 14, and Under 16.  Each tournament is between four and six months long and may involve hundreds of matches on its way to the final and championship games.  Members of the winning teams receive uniforms, soccer balls, and certificates.

Each team in the Youth Sports Program has a team coach and referee who is typically an older youth volunteer in Kibera.  CFK referees and coaches help enforce the CFK Youth Fair Play Code, which governs players’ behavior both on and off the playing field.  This organizational structure creates role models in the community and provides kids with an opportunity to excel at sports as an alternative to violence and other vices.
