Major Partner
I am excited to announce our official partnership with Teems for FOBISIA invitational events. This partnership will ensure the consistent annual organisation of all FOBISIA invitationals. While we will continue to seek schools to host events, in cases where a host cannot be found, Teems will step in to offer their support and ensure continuity.
Certain events, such as FOBISIA swimming, have gained significant popularity and present challenges for schools to host. Our new collaboration with Teems will provide additional support with large scale events to further improve our provisions.
Gareth Pearson, FOBISIA PE and Sports Executive for Invitational Sports
