“Healthy body, healthy mind, healthy future”
At the Canadian University Dubai we recognise the importance of sports to student life. Apart from having a balanced diet, active participation in sports will assist in maintaining our health; if we do not exercise regularly our bodies become easy targets for illness and disease.
Sports teach us many other benefits too – such as team work, discipline, sportsmanship, cooperation, dedication and decision making.
