In an exciting development, the Ghana Education Service (GES) has officially granted approval for the introduction of Tetherball in basic and second cycle schools across the country.
This decision reflects the GES’s commitment to promoting sports and physical activities among students, providing them with a new and engaging sport to participate in. Tetherball is a dynamic and engaging sport that involves two opposing players who aim to strike a ball, attached to a metal pole by a rope, in opposite directions.
In light of the approval granted by the GES, Regional Directors have been officially instructed to inform Metro, Municipal, and District Directors, as well as Heads of Second Cycle Institutions, about the introduction of Tetherball in schools.
This communication ensures that all relevant stakeholders are aware of the new sporting opportunity and can provide the necessary support for its successful integration within their respective districts and schools.
The Ghana Education Service directs authorities and institutions to strictly adhere to these directives. By doing so, they ensure the smooth and continuous running of Tetherball in schools, creating an environment where students can fully explore their potential in this exciting sport.
The introduction of Tetherball in basic and second cycle schools marks a significant step towards diversifying and expanding the sporting opportunities available to Ghanaian students. It not only promotes physical fitness but also fosters teamwork, strategic thinking, and sportsmanship.
