What we do:
Rising Sports Academy uses sports to develop young people on and off the field. We train boys and girls in football and athletics while keeping education at the center of everything.
Core principles:
1. Education first: Every player must stay in school. We track attendance and class performance alongside training.
2. Character through sport: Discipline, teamwork, respect, and leadership are taught in every session.
3. Opportunity for all: We create safe spaces for talented youth regardless of background, including scholarships for those who cannot afford fees.
4. Community impact: We reduce idleness by giving kids purpose, mentorship, and a positive peer group.
Our programs:
Youth training: Age-group football and athletics with qualified local coaches.
Mentorship: Players get guidance on life skills, health, and academics.
Competitions: Friendly matches and tournaments to test skills and build confidence.
Outreach: School visits and community games to promote active, healthy lifestyles.
Why we exist:
South Sudan has talent everywhere. Rising Sports Academy gives that talent structure, coaching, and a reason to stay focused on school and future goals.
We are not just building athletes. We are raising leaders.
