Inspiring its community of students, employees and their families to lead a healthier and more active lifestyle, the Community College of Qatar (CCQ) celebrated Qatar National Sport Day (NSD) with a full range of ‘fun and fit’ activities that focus on the body, mind and spirit.
The whole-day programme, which was hosted at Park 65, is designed to promote fitness and highlight the importance of exercise for adults and kids alike.
The programme featured a variety of sports activities including jogging, running, golf, and shooting darts, in addition to a selection of team-building activities such as tug-of-war, a football tournament and a volleyball championship that witnessed the participation of a group of employees and students. A professional coach led participants on an invigorating fitness class suitable for all ages and activity levels.
