Online training for kids unwraps

THE Philippine Athletics Track and Field Athletics Association (Patafa) has partnered with Milo for an online exercise challenge for kids.

The Patafa and Milo intend to keep the kids to stay in shape while quarantine remains in the entire country because of the Covid- 19 pandemic.

Patafa President Philip Ella Juico and Nestle Philippines Assistant Vice President Lester Castillo announced the program in an online press conference on Friday night.

Castillo said that the program will help kids to stay focused in training and safe at the same time during the pandemic.

“By leveraging on technology, we’re able to pursue our goal on national sports development in kids’ athletics while being safe indoors,” Castillo said. “It’s a way to have children return to play even while at home.”

Juico welcomed the partnership saying that the program is crested to keep the children into sports.

“It’s a crucial program because many of our children are restricted indoors. Amidst the limitation, it is vital to be committed to our journey for grassroots development,” Juico said.

The program starts on Monday and will run for 12 weeks.
