Curlin King Camp to open next week
If you?re sports inclined, under seventeen and in need of an outlet to express yourself, then we?ve got just the thing for you. The annual Curlin King children?s summer sports programme is officially kicking off next week. The three week event will instruct participants in athletics including for the first time, softball, with contributions from the National Women?s Champion: BTL . Camp Coordinator Curlin King says children between the ages of six and sixteen are welcome.

?We?ll be doing basic training in track and field athletics and also in softball. In track and field athletics, basically, we will be doing long-jump and high jump and short sprints and mini-distance. In softball, the Golden Girls of Belize from the B.T.L. softball team will be conducting softball training programme?
?Basically, we cater for the younger kids because we like to prepare them at an early stage to give them basics required for them to play the sport and by training the kids at that tender age with the basic skills, then we are preparing our youths at a younger age and they will develop much faster and would be able to contribute to the sport.?
?We are asking a three dollars registration fee yes, but that is not really the main purpose of the camp. The main purpose of the camp is to keep the kids intact during the summer holidays so that they will have something positive to do; something more meaningful so that they could stay off the street and also they could learn a positive skill.?
The camp runs from Monday of next week, through to the end of the month, and will be held at the Rogers Stadium. The theme for this year?s camp is: “Let?s take it to a meaningful and higher level”.
