This part-time, after school program is all about promoting a healthy lifestyle, fitness, and sports.
The mission of this program is to :
• increase the athletic achievement of all participating children,
• support positive development,
• increase their capacity to succeed in their transition to high school, tertiary level institutions, and society,
• address awareness needs of their families so that they would be willing to support their children’s academic, athletic and developmental success.
To kick off this project the first ever summer Volleyball Camp was held with 75 participants. BNE Trust, the main sponsor for this event and the after- school program, worked along with the BVA, Belmopan Sport Council and the Belmopan City Council.
The after- school program is continuing with many different activities being offered regularly, such as sports clinics which will emphasize balanced nutrition practices and exercise for healthy children and also engaging children in playing volleyball for enjoyment.
Sessions are also held in which the children are taught respect for authority, communicating, conflict resolution, self-discipline, decision-making and leadership skills.
