importance of football.

collaboration with teachers of the Deaf students should broader and balance the curriculum for the Deaf students and make more practical’s plus providing all useful things students want to involve playing football among themselves and to constantly compete with the hearing schools because they know and believe that they can though their teachers do not prove it right, this will
