Following the successes of winter and summer programme, the Minister for Gozo Justyne Caruana has announced another edition of Sports On the Move, for Gozitan children.
For this next winter edition the Minister said that children of all ages will be practising different sports disciplines during the week at the Sports Complex in Victoria, under the guidance of qualified and dedicated coaches of the Gozo Sports Board.
During the launch, Dr Caruana said the Ministry is once again heavily subsidising sports activities for Gozitan children, with this year 600 children participating in 30 different sports – a record number for Sports On The Move.
Sports on the Move has become very popular with the younger generation, and Dr Caruana said that this year the Ministry felt that they could reach out to even more children, and with this in mind introduced LSEs during sports activities, thereby entrenching a sense of inclusion..
Justyne Caruana concluded by stating that sports in Gozo not only has potential but demonstrates how the investment that is being placed in our children is bringing success. Proof of this are the ongoing successes in various sporting disciplines, both locally and abroad, said the Minister.
Mr Alvin Grech, CEO of Gozo Sports Board, thanked the Minister, who, he said, was always ready to assist, both logistically and financially on initiatives of the Gozo Sports Board.
