Have you ever played a game of Clean Touch?
As part of Black History Month, Ibrahim Turay, an instructor in Lethbridge College’s School of Justice, will be leading a game of Clean Touch. This is a game he grew up playing as a child in the Kambia District of Sierra Leone. Clean Touch is a game of strategy with players running to avoid being tapped by another player. Think of it as football without the ball. Any staff and students interested in trying this new game are welcome to drop in to the Val Matteotti Gymnasium to learn how to play.
