A message from IFTA Development
Manager
Milt Ottey.
Hello again to the many schools and organizations
with whom it has already been our pleasure to work with and a very warm welcome
to all the new schools who will be joining us during this current season.
Over 60,000 Ontario school children have now experienced
the joys of the Agility Challenge and Fun in Athletics programs and from the
smiles and the cheers we know that they had a good experience of
healthy sporting activity.
This year we have increased the opportunities
available to schools by expanding our team of
trained development officers and by introducing a totally new and exciting Soccer
Skills program. This new challenge is backed by the Ontario Soccer Association
as part of the ‘Play Soccer
initiative’.
The future of our nation is our children. Simply, healthy
children mean a healthy future so it is my personal goal that each child we work
with has a fun experience of
physical activity.
I sincerely hope that your school or club will take
the opportunity to become part of the ‘Fun in Athletics’ experience
and I look forward to seeing you all during this season.
Have fun in Athletics!
Milton Ottey
