Our Mission
For 50 years, we have lived and breathed sport. It is not something we do — it is something we believe in. Sport reveals character, teaches you to lose so you can win, and builds bonds that nothing can break. Across Curepipe and the whole of Mauritius, Blackshield gives young people a family, roots, and the certainty that hard work always pays off. Basketball, football, handball, pétanque: every discipline is a training ground for life.
