The aim of Eve Sports Academy is to support the children in adopting techniques and skills in sports which are essential for their personal development as well as a healthy lifestyle. Eve Sports Academy have started creating space in which people can learn adapted techniques and methods that improve the quality of community life through sports, especially the disadvantaged members of the community.
