Team sports could be mentally and physically challenging for the non-athletes. Many may feel nervous, unsettled or feel pressured to perform well. While some individuals may have the skill to focus on their strength, talent and performance, others could feel anxious and nervous which would affect their performance.
As much as competitions may seem as a motivation for many to perform well, it could backfire against those who don’t feel as confident playing sports.
Therefor, The League, a tech-enabled event management startup, dedicated to spice up the world of sports with a splash of entertainment to encourage a fun and healthy fitness environment.
The League has decided to shake up the Ramadan soccer competitions by organising the Ramadan Dodgeball League
