The Federation of Uganda Basketball Associations (FUBA) will yet hold another girl-child-focused basketball camp on Saturday, November 23, dubbed “Her World, Her Rules”.

Her World, Her Rules is the Federation of International Basketball Associations’ (FIBA) most recognized women’s initiative, stemming from the strategic objective of increasing women’s participation in the sport. It is designed to unite women and girls through basketball and is delivered in partnership with national federations.

This year’s camp will take place in Western Uganda at St Agatha Girls’ School in Kakore, Rubanda district and will be implemented by FUBA with the support of iCARRe Foundation/Hoop Dreams and Edu-Aid Africa.

The camp, Welcome to My World, aims to introduce basketball skills to a target group of over 60 girls between the ages of 6-16 years. It also includes imparting life skills that will boost the confidence of participants and empower them to challenge gender inequality in the community.

“Her World Her Rules project is an opportunity to create transformative experiences for young girls in Rubanda by introducing basketball to the region and advocating for sports as a choice.

“We aim to inspire and equip these girls to achieve their full potential,” says Rachael Ainamasiko, FUBA’s Commissioner for Women’s Basketball.

In line with FUBA’s 2024 theme “Sports as a Choice”, the campaign will encourage girls to embrace basketball as a pathway for personal development and academic success while impacting the community.

Activities of the program will include basketball skills training and introduction to the game, training of trainers’ courses for officials, referees and coaches, inspirational and motivation sessions, distribution of basketball equipment and community engagement about different issues.
