Bashar Abdullah: More than 800 trainees participated in the "Your Summer with Us" program

The Acting Director General of the Public Authority for Youth and Sports, Bashar Abdullah, said on Thursday that the “Your Summer with Us” program, aimed at raising sports awareness and promoting physical activity, has attracted more than 800 trainees since its launch last July. These participants have been distributed across six sports.

Abdullah told KUNA that the program, which targets age groups from 6 to 26 years and runs until September 25 next year, is not merely about occupying leisure time, but represents a strategic initiative to instill the concept of sports in the minds of children and youth.

He explained that the program, which provides opportunities to discover promising talents, serves as a gateway to producing Olympic champions capable of representing the State of Kuwait at international forums.

He noted that the program includes taekwondo, judo, basketball, ice skating, shooting, and bowling.

He clarified that most of the sports target the 6-to-15 age group, while shooting is reserved for those aged 14 to 26, ensuring diversity and meeting the needs of different age groups.
