In line with International Women’s Day celebrated on 8 March, Kunsill Malti għall-iSport (KMS) will be promoting women’s and girl’s well-being and engagement in sport.

For this occasion KMS, on this day, is putting together a varied programme which will include a selection of health and fitness activities from 5pm to 7pm.

These sessions are being offered free of charge, and will take place at the Cottonera Sports Complex. Not just on this day, but throughout the week, KMS will also be organising other activities directly with a number of girls secondary schools.

Accordingly, Kunsill Malti għall-iSport invites all women and girls, including grandmothers, mothers, and daughters to come and participate in the two hour programme.

The programme will include Yoga or Oriental Fitness for adults, at 5pm; mummies with children can participate whilst their children can try out a session of Ballet or Aerobics. A mega Zumba event for adults and children, with Pedro and Maria, will then take place at 6pm.

KMS encourages all females to participate in sports and fitness activities and join us in celebrating this special day. For further information, contact KMS on tel. 21660658 or send an e-mail to [email protected]
