New additions to the men’s squad include Pike Mugisha (Bugema University), James Amoding, Bosco Opila, and Davis Ssuma. The women’s team welcomed Rashidah Maajabu (Kinawa High School), Abigail Aliok, and Desire Kyomugasho.

“We’re boosting our attack and setting as we prepare for the new season,” said head coach Tony Lakony. “Competition is intensifying, and we must keep improving to stay competitive.”
