The Sport and Recreation Alliance has announced that it is working with Archery GB to assess the impact of Project Rimaya, an archery initiative set up with funding from SportsAid to introduce the sport to young Muslims, especially girls.
Project Rimaya – meaning ‘archery’ in Arabic – started in 2018 as a way of giving young Muslim girls the opportunity to try a sport they would not otherwise be able to access. It holds significance within the faith as multiple Islamic texts mention archery as a worthy pastime, with the prophet Muhammed recommending the sport.
The aim of the programme is to increase the number of young Muslim people participating in archery. Although Archery GB also hope that through the programme a future Olympian or Paralympian may be found. Through the initiative, local adults have also been trained as volunteer coaches and instructors, providing opportunities to get involved in archery and inspiring local children to do so too.
