Achievements

We are proud KETTISO champions currently in cross country men and soccer men. Also we have successfully won a number of trophies in various disciplines due to hard work and dedication brought about by teamwork exhibited through team members.

Challenges

Despite the exemplary performance in various disciplines, we face a few challenges which the department is working on to ensure they don’t affect our performance in future. Some of the challenges include; shortage of playing/training fields due to land and finances which we call upon members of like-minded to give a hand in supporting us. Another key challenge is limited time for training since we priotize class learning and do our trainings in the evening after 5:00P.M which sometimes is interrupted by harsh weather conditions like rains.

Capacity Building

The management occassionary sponsors coaches whenever possible for training under professional organizations to be versed with current championship trends and rules.

Big-ups

We thank the management which has ensured that our activities runs smoothly and teams have consistently participated in all KETTISO games through financial and infrastructure support for sports equipment, kits and other necessities. Our appreciation also goes to coaches who are constantly doing a great work in training our community. Finally we appreciate our trainee sportsmen and women who always ensure we win.
