Muscat - Post Report Question and Answers
Are local sports classes and/or activities available for kids?
Yes and no. Most are offered through TAISM. There are competitive soccer leagues (you have to try out). We found an informal field hockey program that has been great. But sadly there are no little league or rec basketball programs. - Feb 2018
