Millennium Global Ringo students delivered a strong performance at the Włodzimierz Strzyżewski Memorial Ringo Tournament in Kenya, securing three podium finishes while gaining valuable experience in teamwork, competition and sportsmanship.
Held on 26 September 2026, the tournament was hosted by St. Austin’s Academy and organised by the Kenya Ringo Sports Federation. The event brought together seven schools to compete across U9, U11, U13 and U15 categories.
For students, competitions such as this provide opportunities to apply skills beyond regular physical education lessons. They also allow young athletes to develop confidence, communication, resilience and an understanding of fair play.
Millennium Global Ringo Students Deliver Strong Results
Millennium Global International entered teams in the U9 and U11 categories. The school achieved three notable results.
- U9, Millennium Global A, Champions
- U9, Millennium Global B, Runner-up
- U11, Millennium Global, Champions
The results highlighted the students’ ability to work together under competitive conditions. Moreover, taking part in a tournament involving schools from across the local education community gave learners the chance to test their skills against new opponents.
The school team of Tripples demonstrated teamwork, discipline, skill and sportsmanship throughout the competition.
Ringo Gives Students More Than Competitive Experience
Sport can play an important role in a child’s wider development. Regular participation gives students opportunities to practise communication, cooperation and decision-making while learning how to respond to both success and setbacks.
For Millennium Global students, the tournament also provided experience in representing their school in a wider sporting community.
Furthermore, meeting sporting and education leaders gave students an opportunity to learn about possible pathways within sport and extracurricular activities.
Students Meet Leaders From Kenya’s Sporting Community
During the tournament, Millennium Global students met several figures involved in sport and education.
Mr. Francis Juma, President of Kenya Ringo Sports, spoke with students about the growth of Ringo in schools, pathways for young players, and the importance of fair play and safe practice.
Students also met Mr. David Weru, President of International Mini Games (STEM and Arts). He shared perspectives on connecting sport with wider educational initiatives, including STEM and the arts.
Mr. David Kimotho, Head of Extra-Curricular at Potterhouse School, discussed the role of sporting discipline, daily training routines and extracurricular leadership in developing students and strengthening connections within school communities.
These conversations helped students see how sport can connect with other areas of education and personal development.
Why Sporting Opportunities Matter For Students
The Millennium Global Ringo experience shows how school sport can extend learning beyond the classroom.
Competitions encourage students to set goals, practise consistently and work towards a shared result. They can also help young people develop confidence when communicating with teammates, coaches and competitors.
In addition, tournaments provide students with opportunities to build relationships with other schools and understand the importance of respect in competition.
For educators and school leaders, these experiences demonstrate the wider value of extracurricular programmes. A strong sports programme can support physical development while also contributing to teamwork, resilience, leadership and a sense of belonging.
The school thanked Millennium Global management, teachers, coaches and parents for supporting the young athletes.
The achievement also gives the Year 6 students an opportunity to recognise the value of preparation, teamwork and commitment.
MR. Gilbert Kiprop, Physical Education and Ringo Sports congratulated the Millennium Global students for representing their school with pride at the Włodzimierz Strzyżewski Memorial Ringo Tournament.
