El Alsson School, Cairo | Egypt

This is the first overseas sports’ trip that El Alsson has taken since before the Covid epidemic; we know this because the last Under 11 large games were cancelled, I think, the night before our students were due to fly; our squad were distraught. The present squad are looking forward to this trip just as much as the previous bunch. Their aim is to play sport and compete fiercely and fairly; a good deal of preparation has gone into honing basketball, football, netball and swimming skills, and their athletic prowess. Hopefully, they can bring their best form and performances to the games and do this in a determined and sportsperson like way. Meeting new people and friends is also a very important part of our trip. They are also keen to immerse and experience the Abu Dhabi culture and to have Abu Dhabi experience a bit of theirs. We are grateful to the BSME and the British International School Abu Dhabi for hosting and inviting us to these games.
