Day 1: Touchdown in Doha – Straight into Action

Our adventure began as we touched down in Doha, ready for a whirlwind sports tour. A slight delay at immigration didn’t slow us down, and soon enough, we were on the bus and heading straight to the pitch.

There was no time to waste – it was straight into a warm-up session with the expert coaches from Evolution Sports Academy. They put the teams through their paces, ensuring everyone was sharp and ready for the challenges ahead.

The afternoon saw us face the talented teams at Doha College in netball and football fixtures. Both matches were closely contested, showcasing fantastic teamwork, skill, and determination from all involved. Whether it was quick thinking on the netball court or pinpoint passes on the football pitch, there was plenty to be proud of.

As we wrapped up the day, there was a real sense of accomplishment and excitement for what’s still to come.

Stay tuned for Day 2!

Day 2: Triumphs, Team Spirit, and Time to Unwind

The second day of our Doha tour brought an action-packed schedule and plenty of excitement. The girls headed back to Doha College for another round of netball fixtures, showcasing skill and determination in every match. Meanwhile, the boys took part in the Artamex Tournament, where the highlight of the day came courtesy of the U14s football team. In a nail-biting final, they scored a dramatic last-minute equaliser before clinching victory in a tense penalty shootout – a moment that will be remembered for years to come!

After the morning's exertions, the team enjoyed a well-earned lunch at TGI Fridays, recharging for an eventful afternoon. Next on the agenda was a visit to the impressive 321 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum, where we explored the history of sport and celebrated the spirit of competition.

The day didn’t end there. The group then unleashed their competitive side at Lazer Wars, an energetic and fun-filled experience that brought out plenty of laughs and team spirit. Finally, we wrapped things up with some free time at Villaggio Mall, where everyone had the chance to shop, relax, or simply soak in the atmosphere of this unique destination.

Day 2 was an incredible mix of competition, culture, and camaraderie – and the best part is, there’s still more to come!

Day 3: Hard Work, Fierce Fixtures, and Fun to Finish

The day began with an invigorating SAQ (Speed, Agility, and Quickness) session in Lusail, where professional coaches put the team through their paces. It was a morning of focused drills and skill-building, helping everyone refine their techniques and boost their confidence.

After the morning session, we enjoyed a well-earned lunch at Nando’s on La Perla. The delicious peri-peri dishes and stunning views of the marina provided the perfect setting to relax and recharge before the afternoon fixtures.

The matches against the renowned Park House School offered a mix of challenges. Some games were closely fought, testing the team’s resilience and teamwork, while others saw us taking full control, showcasing all the hard work that’s gone into this tour. Each match was a valuable experience and a fitting way to cap off our competitive schedule.

We ended the day with a relaxed bowling session, where everyone had the chance to unwind and enjoy some friendly fun before heading back to the hotel.

Tomorrow morning, we’ll make the most of our final hours in Doha with a trip to the mall before our afternoon flight home. It’s been an unforgettable tour, packed with effort, learning, and plenty of great memories.
