Athletics Malta will be holding its first Kids' Athletics event for this year at the Matthew Micallef St John Athletic Track, Marsa, on Saturday, starting at 1.30 p.m.

Kids' Athletics is a new concept of the sport that is uniquely tailored to the development needs of youngsters between the ages of five and 13.

The new events and innovative organisation is suitable for all participants, enabling them to discover the basic athletic activities of sprinting, endurance running, jumping and throwing/putting, Athletics Malta said in a statement.

The structure and scoring of the event is easy to follow with points allocated according to the result of each team member. The total scores for each event are calculated and a rank order is established.

The programme of activities on Saturday will be held under the supervision of IAAF qualified coaches. Their primary aim will be to ensure the safety of the children and see that the events are carried out in the most enjoyable manner.
