URGENT UPDATE: The highly anticipated Boys Oztag Gala Day is set to occur on Sunday, November 9, 2025, at Vale of Ah Reserve in Milperra, southwest Sydney. This annual event, organized by Metamorphosis Coaching, promises to bring together over 300 young athletes for a day focused on sportsmanship and personal growth.
This year’s Gala Day is spearheaded by founders Faz Rana and Jahida El-Assaad, who are passionately committed to instilling values of resilience and teamwork in the youth. After a challenging few months, including a recent international tournament where Rana represented Lebanon and sustained a broken hand, the couple remains dedicated to their community initiatives while balancing their demanding careers in education.
The event is not just about competition; it aims to foster character development among participants. Rana emphasizes, “We want the boys to walk away having learned something – about resilience, about teamwork, about themselves.” This sentiment underlines the core mission of Metamorphosis Coaching, which seeks to build not just champions, but well-rounded individuals.
With the upcoming Gala Day promising to be a landmark event, Faz reflects on the significance of sports in shaping young minds. “Sport builds relationships, teaches discipline, and shows you how to handle setbacks,” he noted. These lessons resonate deeply as the community rallies around the event, confirming a strong desire for opportunities that encourage connection and growth among youth.
Last year’s turnout was impressive, with more than 300 boys participating, demonstrating a robust interest in local Oztag events. This year, the expectation is that the event will not only match but exceed that figure, showcasing the community’s enthusiasm for youth sports.
The Gala Day will also feature key sponsors, including Human Appeal, Prime Cranes, and Care@metamorphosis, who are instrumental in making this event a success. Their support, alongside the commitment of Faz and Jahida, illustrates the collaborative spirit that defines the Sydney Muslim community.
As excitement builds for the Boys Oztag Gala Day, the message is clear: it’s not just about the game; it’s about building character and resilience in young athletes. The event is poised to be an unforgettable experience for participants and families alike.
Join the action and support the future of our youth on November 9 at Vale of Ah Reserve in Milperra. This is more than just a sporting event; it’s a celebration of community, growth, and character. Don’t miss it!
