What an unforgettable month it has been for our young Evolvers with incredible opportunities, well-deserved recognition, and outstanding achievements both locally and abroad! 🥳

Earlier this month, from 5th to 12th July 2026, Monique Monika Vella, Emma Bartoli, and Julia Galea attended the 2026 RSL Badminton Europe Summer School in Vejen, Denmark 🇩🇰 The programme brought together talented young players from across Europe for a week of high-level training, learning, and personal development.

We are also extremely proud that ten of our Evolvers were recognised by the Maltese Olympic Committee during the Certificate Presentation Ceremony held on Friday, 17th July. Jade Fenech, Juan Casaru, Matias Casaru, Jeremy Mark Gatt, Dayle Bugelli, Monique Monika Vella, Julia Galea, Emma Bartoli, Julia Saliba, and Jade Bartoli have all been welcomed into the Maltese Olympic Committee Development Scheme. A huge thank you to the Maltese Olympic Committee for believing in and investing in Malta’s next generation of sporting talent 😍

Another fantastic milestone was achieved by Jade Bartoli, who has been selected to join the National Sports School from this scholastic year. We couldn’t be prouder of this incredible achievement and wish her every success in this exciting new chapter 📙🏸

Our athletes continue to make the most of every opportunity. Emma Bartoli, Jade Bartoli, and Matthias Vassallo are currently attending the GSB International training Camp in Greve, Denmark 🇩🇰

Meanwhile, another group of our young athletes, Julia Galea, Jade Fenech, Monique Monika Vella, Julia Saliba, Andrea Saliba, Julia Rose Attard, Ben Galea, and Jack Galea are currently in Bolzano, Italy 🇮🇹 taking part in an intensive training camp.

What a remarkable month it has been! We couldn’t be prouder of the dedication, commitment, and hard work shown by all our young Evolvers. These opportunities and achievements are the result of countless hours of training, perseverance, and passion for the sport 🫶

Congratulations to every single one of you! W can’t wait to see what the future holds 💙🏸

As we close another unforgettable edition of the Evolve International Summer Camp 2026, we do so with hearts full of gratitude, pride and countless memories that will stay with us for years to come 🥹

To our incredible coaching team – Coach Kenneth 🇩🇰, Coach Anthony 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Coach Erika 🇮🇹, Coach Matthew 🇲🇹 Coach Luke 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, Coach Edmond 🇲🇹 & Coach Rodney 🇲🇹. Your dedication, passion, patience, and endless hours on court made this camp what it was. You inspired every player, challenged them to be better, and created an environment where everyone felt supported. A special thank you for stepping up from day one when one of our coaches unexpectedly had to withdraw. Without hesitation, you adapted, gave even more of yourselves, and ensured that every participant received the best possible experience. Your hard work did not go unnoticed and this was reflected in every smile, every heartfelt goodbye, every kind message, and every "thank you" we received. We are incredibly grateful to you all ♥️

To every single player – thank you for trusting us and being part of this camp. Your hard work, determination, and positive attitude were truly inspiring. You embraced every session, pushed through every rally, and gave your best despite the intense summer heat. Watching your growth throughout the week, both as players and as people, was the greatest reward we could ask for. Keep working hard, keep believing in yourselves, and never stop enjoying the game you love.

To all the parents, both local and those who travelled from abroad, thank you for your trust, support, and cooperation from the very beginning. Thank you for believing in our vision and allowing us to be part of your children's journey. Meeting so many wonderful families from different countries made this camp even more meaningful, and we hope you leave Malta with memories that will last a lifetime.

To all our volunteers and helpers, thank you for every early morning, every late evening, every task behind the scenes, and every helping hand. Events like these simply cannot happen without people like you.

To our sponsors, thank you for believing in Evolve and helping us make this camp possible. Your support allowed us to create an experience that so many young athletes will never forget.

Seeing players from different countries come together, support one another, and leave as friends reminds us exactly why we do this.

To everyone who joined us this year…thank you for becoming part of the Evolve family.

Until next summer...💪♥️
