Board of Trustees Positions Announced

This past week, a team of 7 players from Quadball Uganda loaded their hoops onto their bus and set out to bring our wonderful sport to no fewer than 4 new communities!

The journey started in Adjumani, 570 kms (!) from their hometown of Masaka. 

The players were welcomed with enthusiasm by the different schools they visited, and students ages 3-17 were eager to try their hand at this brand new sport. With over 900 attendees across the tour, the team made a huge impact. 

The event was a great success, and was met with the approval of the IQA Expansion Manager Negra Flores:

"I am very proud of the path Quadball Uganda is following, and grateful to SportsUganda for their support. It is through such partnerships that our sport truly expands. Being an inclusive and refreshing option, we are confident that more organizations around the world will want to bring quadball to more locations within their countries. Quadball Uganda stands out for its resilience and genuine intention to introduce our sport to children. They are aware that it is with children that quadball will have excellent opportunities to endure over time."

We hope this momentum helps propel the sport to new heights in Uganda, and we hope to see many new players on the international stage soon.

Andy Marmer, Chair of our Board of Trustees, said: 

“I'm excited to welcome Dan and Vini to the IQA Board of Trustees. They each have a variety of experiences and perspective that will enrich the board and benefit the IQA and the sport of quadball as a whole.”

In addition to welcoming two new trustees, we also say goodbye to a previous trustee. Luke Derrick has resigned from this role.

We look forward to working with our Board of Trustees as we continue to lead and promote the sport of quadball across the world.

We are saddened to announce that Aaron Caroll has decided to step down as Executive Director of the IQA. 

We are very grateful to Aaron for his years of service to the IQA, and his drive and passion for the organization.
