With a variety of fun in-mall activations taking place across the Middle East, Sun & Sand Sports is encouraging children to get involved and try out their latest products. The main activation took place in Mirdif City Centre between August 25 to 31, 2014 challenged children to slam dunk paperballs into a bin, shoot footballs and fill their backpacks full of sporting goodies whilst being restrained by a giant elastic band, before graduating from Sun & Sand Sports School with a complimentary graduation picture and voucher!
