Scholastic Year 2017-2018 saw once more the organisation of the Volleyball Tournaments for all State, Church and Private schools in Malta. All events were held at the Cottonera Sports Complex and were organised by the Sport Promotion Unit within SportMalta in collaboration with the Malta Volleyball Association.

In the boys’ category, Stella Maris College had the better of Savio College, while in the girls’ category SIC Handaq Secondary topped the table after playing against St Monica Birkirkara, SCC Pembroke Secondary and St Joseph Blata l-Bajda.

A month later it was the turn of the Form 3&4 students to be in action in the Qualifying phase. These games were held on the 11^th (Boys) and 12^th January (Girls). The Finals were held on the 13^th of April. In the boys’ category Savio College had the better of St Aloysius College.

The participating schools were MRC Naxxar MS, SMC Cospicua MS, St Monica Birkirkara and St Dorothy’s School Zebbug. A total of twenty-one teams were fielded, fifteen girls and six boys.

Move Transfer is a collaborative partnership project aiming to transferthe Slovenian Best Practices “Healthy Club”Quality Mark model to Bulgaria and Malta. SportMalta has partnered with SUS  (Sport Union of Slovenia), ISCA and  the Bulgarian BE Active Organization to promote this programme.  ISCA has launched the “Move Transfer” programme, three years ago and it has engaged over 20 organisationsand supported the development of 25 initiatives (http://www.move-transfer.com).

As part of this project, Ms Saska BENEDICIC TOMAT, Head of Projects of the SlovenianInternational Sport and Culture Association visited Malta, from the 9^th till the 11^th of April, 2018. During her visit Ms Saska Tomat had scheduled meetings (through SportMalta) with representatives from different organizations and sports clubs namely, Marsaxlokk Nursery Academy, Dar Kenn għal Saħħtek, Gozo Sport Board, Għajnsielem Redcoats and the Hibernians Association (Basketball). She had the opportunity to actually experience the activity of the club whilst talking to club and committee members.

Before leaving, she expressed that she was pleased with the outcome and congratulated all the clubs for their good work and initiatives. At the end of the project Sportmalta together with SUS will recommend which clubs will be  awarded the Healthy Club Quality Mark and eventually these will serve as good practices to encourage othersports or fitness clubs to obtain this Mark. This quality mark will eventually promote professionalism and healthy management within our associaations and clubs for the benefit of the community at large.
