SportMalta’s flagship Let’s Move Malta Summer Programme gets underway tomorrow, launching another summer dedicated to promoting physical activity, healthy lifestyles and community engagement across the Maltese Islands. This year’s edition has attracted an impressive 3,000 participants, reflecting the programme’s continued popularity among children, teenagers and adults.
The eight-week programme will be delivered across six venues: Cottonera Sport Complex, Marsa Sport Complex, the National Pool Complex, Maria Assunta Complex (Hamrun), Kirkop Sport Complex, Gozo and Mosta (Zokrija Secondary School). Throughout the summer, these centres will host a wide range of sporting and recreational activities, ensuring that participants from different localities have access to quality coaching and modern sporting facilities and equipment.
Participants will benefit from the expertise of fully qualified coaches, who will lead the various sporting activities and ensure that sessions are delivered in a safe, enjoyable and professional environment. They will be supported by a team of dedicated helpers who will assist the coaches in the preparation and organisation of activities, enabling each session to run efficiently while providing participants with the attention and encouragement they need. Over 180 between coaches and helpers will deliver this programme.
Designed to encourage people of all ages and abilities to embrace a more active lifestyle, the Let’s Move Malta Summer Programme offers an extensive selection of activities, including swimming, athletics, gymnastics, football, fitness classes, dance, judo, sailing and a variety of other recreational sports. The programme not only focuses on developing sporting skills but also promotes teamwork, discipline, confidence and respect.
For younger participants, the programme provides a structured and engaging environment during the school holidays, encouraging healthy habits from an early age while allowing children to discover new sports, build confidence and make lasting friendships. Adults also benefit from a broad programme of fitness and wellness sessions tailored to different levels of experience and physical ability. Most of the programmes run from Monday to Friday between 08:00 and 14:00 hours whilst other tailor-made programmes are offered at different hours.
The participation of 3,000 individuals highlights the strong demand for organised sporting activities during the summer months and reinforces SportMalta’s commitment to building a healthier and more active nation. Over the course of the eight weeks, participants will not only improve their physical wellbeing but also enjoy the social and personal benefits that come with regular participation in sport.
As the first sessions begin tomorrow, SportMalta is looking forward to welcoming thousands of participants to its six venues for another successful edition of the Let’s Move Malta Summer Programme. With the support of experienced coaches, committed helpers and modern sporting facilities, the initiative once again demonstrates that sport is for everyone, providing opportunities for people of all ages to stay active, learn new skills and enjoy a fun, healthy and rewarding summer.
