BC Muslim Schools Intra Soccer Tournament @ Newton Athletic Park

Alamdho-lillah this was our second year for the tournament, the weather was great, cloudy with periods of sun, considering we had thunder showers Monday evening, we were very lucky. For 2017 we had four schools partaking in the tournament, namely: School: Number of teams Az-Zahraa Islamic Academy 4 BC Muslim School 8 Iqra Islamic School, and 8 Surrey Muslim Schools 7 The teams were dived into 2 divisions:

Division 2 - Grades four and five for boys and girls

Division 1 - Grades six and seven for boys and girls We will have a separate trophy (four) for each division winner and an annual trophy for the overall winner. The annual trophy is decided based on overall points so each school has a fair chance of winning. We will also held a small Islamic and general knowledge quiz at our closing ceremony, the questions were submitted by the four schools principals. In addition to all these, the RCMP community outreach was there for most of the day unit including the bicycle squad. RCMP were present at the fields so the kids and interact with the RCMP unit. The BC Ambulance Service were also present at the site. The organizing committee is grateful for the cooperation from the students, the principals and the governing authority(s) like the BCMA, Iqra and Azia boards and our brothers and sisters from the community for their cooperation.
