The constant increase in the level of International Sport has put greater demands on our Federations to prepare their Elite Athletes from a much earlier stage. We have seen the introduction of Games for much younger age groups.

The role of the Youth Commission is to:

Assess the sports state of affairs in the Youth Field;

Introduce the sports already practiced at youth level in School Sports Days;

Co-ordinate with the Education Division in order to give Sports more importance in the school curriculum;

Set up a basis for the preparation of Elite Athletes from a very young age;

Help the Federations set up a youth preparation programme;

Select Youth for International representation in Games represented by the MOC (EYOF, etc).

Organise and collaborate with the Malta Olympic Committee and the Education Division on the following projects:

  1. Youth Sports Fest
  2. Youth Development Programme
