In its hopes to promote a healthy lifestyle at the primary schools level, the Fiji National Sports Commission invited Athletics Fiji Development Officers to help run the Kids’ Athletics Program at Yat Sen Primary School.

WE’RE OFFERING THIS PROGRAM TO ANY SCHOOL AND SO FAR WE’VE ONLY HAD YAT SEN PRIMARY WHO HAVE REQUESTED US TO COME IN AND RUN THE PROGRAM

Sports Commission development officer Mitieli Savu said that the program will last the whole of the second school term.

WE’RE TEACHING KIDS THE BASIC MOTOR SKILLS.

Apart from Kid’s Athletics, Basketball Fiji was also there. “We’re waiting for the response from other sporting bodies as we’ve invited them as well.” said Savu.

Savu also commented that this program will help Sports Commission and sporting bodies identify potential talent.

Athletics Fiji, World Archery Fiji and the Fiji Paralympic Committee held a 2 day (29^th – 30^th June, 2018) workshop over the weekend at the FNCDP headquarters in Suva.

The aim of the workshop was to make clear to Paralympic athletes, coaches and officials the opportunities and support available to them. This message was re-iterated by FPC’s newly elected FPC board member and former Fiji TV news anchor, Sakiusa Bolaira when he stated that

There are endless opportunities for all of us

The goal set out by the FPC is to make Fiji proud by increasing Fiji’s medal prospects at the 2020 Paralympics and beyond and that this workshop served as a reminder of that goal by bringing to light the support and opportunities available not only through the various sporting bodies but organizations, government and the Pacific Sports Partnership Program.

Present at the workshop was newly appointed Oceania Athletics Association’s Project Manager, Carlee Beattie.

Carlee is the record holder for the women’s F46 long jump and represented Australia at the 2012 Paralympics where she won a silver medal.

The workshop ended on Saturday (30^th June, 2018) with Archery and Athletics sporting activities at the Jai Narayan College Multi-Purpose Courts.
