School Games: Kisii risks losing hosting rights for the KSSSA National Term 2 Games

In summary:

• Kisii County Lacks a standard stadium.

• Secondary Schools’ Term two games to be held on 29th July to 7th August, 2024.

• Term two games Feature: Soccer, Volleyball, Netball, Rugby7’s (Boys and Girls), Basketball 3 on 3 and Racquet Games

• Junior School Games to held at same venue and time

Kisii County may be stripped of rights to host the second term National School Games according to latest reports. The Kenya Secondary Schools Sports Association, KSSSA, national executive council is considering moving the games away; citing lack of adequate facilities.

Top on the list is the unavailability of a standard stadium to host Soccer matches as Gusii stadium is currently under renovation. The school games that attract mammoth crowds, more especially soccer, must be played in a standard stadium. Last year, soccer matches were played at Bukhungu Stadium in Kakamega.

Kisii County Sports Committee had fronted Cardinal Otunga High School Mosocho and Kisii University grounds; but which seemed unsatisfactory. Consequently, the local organizing committee has been given one month to give the final status on preparations.

According to the Ministry of Education Co-Curricular activities’ calendar, Secondary Schools’ Term two games to be held on 29th July to 7th August, 2024. This will involve: Soccer, Volleyball, Netball, Rugby 7’s (Boys and Girls), Basketball 3 on 3 and Racquet Games. Junior School games are also to be staged at the same venue and dates.

KSSSA is mulling taking the games elsewhere with Kisii and Homa Bay being the preferred destinations.

Meanwhile, the pooling for the term 2 games has been released as shown here;
