Get Your Child into Sports: Top 5 Things to Expect with the 2019 MILO Summer Sports Clinics
For more than 35
years, MILO has been committed in the development of Filipino children thru
nutrition and sports. Every summer is a much-awaited break because it would
mean the herald of MILO Summer Sports Clinics.
Last February 7,
2019, MILO Philippines officially ushers in the 2019 MILO Summer Sports Clinics.
Held at KidZania BGC, it was well attended by MILO Philippines top brass, alumnis
of MILO Sports Clinic and guests.
For this year, MILO’s
program continues to offer a wide array of sports activities that kids can
participate in throughout the summer. As part of its motivation “Get Your Child
into Sports” campaign, the MILO Summer Sports Clinics aims to reinforce the
importance of sports in a child’s holistic development.
It is a known fact
that with today’s advancement in technology, most Filipino children are faced
with numerous barriers that hinder them from engaging into sports. Digital
distractions, lack of safe play places, and fear of trying to get into sports
are some of this barriers. With MILO’s annual summer clinic, it seeks to
address these challenges by highlighting sports as a means not only to get kids
active, but also to teach valuable life lessons one can learn outside the
classroom.
During the launch Willy
De Ocampo, Business Unit Manager, MILO Philippines emphasized, “Getting
children involved in sports would be a more enjoyable and productive way to
healthy living.” He added, “We believe that physical and social development lay
the foundation for a child’s growth, which is why our MILO Summer Sports
Clinics teaches children the fundamentals of various sports in a unique and
scientific way and helps them develop character-forming values.”
So what can we
expect for this year MILO Summer Sports Clinics? Here are five of them:
