On Saturday mornings two mixed
groups between the ages of 11 and 13 gather at the Cottonera Sports Complex and
the University Sports Complex respectively to explore and experience different sports
disciplines and their fundamentals. The Adventure/Multisport sessions are held
every Saturday morning as part of the Skolasport programme.
From the most energetic and
extrovert to the most quiet and reserved, participants delve wholeheartedly
into these intriguing sports sessions. The sessions, conducted indoors,
practice specific sports like baseball, rugby, football, volleyball, tennis and
basketball. On the last Saturday of each month the groups meet outdoors for
further adventure such as cycling, abseiling, go-carting, climbing, horse
riding and much more.
Instructors Melissa Borg at
Cottonera and Nadia Gosney at the University Sports Complex coach their
respective groups with a routinely warm-up and stretching exercises, with the
introduction to rules and fundamentals of a specific discipline pursued by game
time.
Sport as an essential in life
provides mental relief and physical fitness amongst the young and young at
heart. This is one of the prime objectives for which Skolasport organised by the Kunsill Malti ghall-iSport is sponsored
by Kellogg’s.
