Sunnah Sports Programme

“Everything that is done without the remembrance of Allah is a vain distraction and idle play, but for these four accomplishments: a man walking between the two points of the archery ground, training his horse, learning how to swim, and jesting with his family” (Sunan al-Nasā’ī)

For several years the Greensville Trust has been a leading proponent in both delivering various sunnah sports as well as encouraging others to set-up similar programmes. The implementation of these disciplines across our communities goes well beyond the physical benefit of exercise. Rather, they are akin to worship and help us to fulfil our ultimate goal: To know God.

To further our commitment in continuing to support our communities, we are delighted to be able to run a series of workshops, presentations and taster sessions as part of our Sunnah Sports Weekend on September 14 and 15 this year at Mustafa Mount. Numerous National Governing Bodies will be on site during these days to deliver sessions including British Wrestling, Archery GB, British Equestrian Federation alongside The Pony Club, Swim England and England Athletics.
Our aspirations are to showcase the impact of our efforts over the last decade and to help grow these disciplines in the Bradford area and across the country.

Swim England will run 4 sessions for everyone to find out more about how they can get involved in swimming. Topics will include:Water Safety - An interactive session for parents and children about how best to stay safe and enjoy the water.Swimming as a Career - This will explain how to pursue teaching as a career including how to do it at a reduced cost and what you can expect once qualified. Swimming 'Sports' - This session will explain how to get involved with the aquatic sports in the local area. Whether learning to swim or aspiring to reach the Olympics and Paralympics, there are opportunities available!

British Wrestling will run Freestyle Wrestling Taster sessions giving an introduction to participants to learn about wrestling in a fun and engaging manner. To be a wrestler means to exercise all parts of your body. Our experienced coaches will give you an experience of this as well as introduce you to the basic concepts of the sport.
