KMS Skolasport has reinforced its philosophy and offers children the opportunity to learn different skills and sporting abilities through an intensive syllabus of physical education and active play.
Its aim is to provide children with a holistic educational programme that improves their future development in a variety of team and individual sport. In fact, many Maltese sport professionals have started their training at KMS Skolasport.
“KMS Skolasport has been the starting point for many Maltese children in their discovery and enjoyment of sport. This is why Kellogg’s, the world’s leading producer of breakfast cereal, has been sponsoring events related with KMS Skolasport for the past decade. Through Kellogg’s sponsorship, we are contributing towards the overall enhancement of KMS Skolasport and to healthier Maltese generations,” said Kellogg’s spokesperson in Malta. all participants will receive a free Kellogg’s t-shirt to wear during their training sessions.
For adults or parents who accompany their children, KMS Skolasport also provides a fitness activity class at the four main sports complexes.
