Holiday Sports, Maldives

It would be an understatement to say that my winter break was absolutely packed with action.

I had the absolute luck to be able to go to the Maldives with a group of friends for Christmas and the New Year. We arrived on December 16 and left on January 3, but it was safe to say that we were always doing something every day.

When it comes to the sports that we were able to do, the Island had a Football pitch, a Gym, Volleyball courts, Badminton courts, Squash courts and Tennis courts.

I played football everyday for about 1-2 hours, focusing more on my shooting, I also played volleyball with my friends as well as island staff which was extremely fun. This gave me an opportunity to focus on jump serves, an aspect which I need improvement on. I also got the chance to go to the gym on a few days, with the sea being the perfect cooldown. And finally for the racket sports, we played quite often especially when it comes to badminton.

Overall there was an extremely heavy aspect about sports and physical activity on the island which made me enjoy my stay thoroughly.
