The Kunsill Malti ghall-iSport sports programme, Active Youngsters, is nearing its end for Summer 2008.

A total of 250 girls and boys aged between 9 and 16 participated in this programme which started in July. The sports offered in the programme were the following: Basketball, Breakdance, Football, Handball, Hip Hop, Judo, Netball, Swimming, Traditional Karate and Volleyball.

Last Saturday, the Kunsill Malti ghall-iSport organised an end-of-programme activity at the Cottonera Sports Complex. The boys and girls took part in various sports activities including rock climbing, since a mobile climbing tower will be positioned at the Complex for this activity. Following speeches by special guests, the paticipants were awarded a Certificate of Participation and a T-Shirt as a memento of the programme.

This year the Kunsill Malti ghall-iSport will also organise seaside sports activities for the participants in Active Youngsters. In fact, between Wednesday and Friday these girls and boys will be given the opportunity to experience sailing, canoeing and again rock climbing at Birzebbuga.
