LUMS hosted the
Women’s League 2016, organised by the Department of Sports, Wellness
and Recreation in collaboration with student society, Sports at LUMS
(SLUMS). The event comprised of nine sports such as athletics, badminton,
basketball, cricket, futsal, netball, table tennis, volleyball and, hockey.
Female athletes from colleges and universities including LSE, UoL, FAST,
COMSATS and FCC participated in the event.
The philosophy behind the Women’s League was ‘women
empowerment. This year SLUMS planned this sports event to give confidence to
the girls and encourage them to participate in this kind of sports competition.
Department of Sports at LUMS invited universities and schools and 60
underprivileged girls from a public high school run by an NGO. Participants
were given personal grooming and sports training sessions to boost self
confidence and learn different skills. For the personal grooming sessions, LUMS
faculty members were engaged. The event ended with a small competition in
a few sports such as athletics, badminton and throwball.
