Sharjah24: As part of the initiative aimed at developing sports awareness among girls from an early age, the Sharjah Women's Sports organised the second training gathering for schoolgirls on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, at the Sharjah Women Sports Olympic Centre. This event saw the participation of 631 students from the American School of Creative Science and the American Emirati School, in accordance with cooperation agreements signed between these schools and the foundation.

Enhancing sports participation

This second gathering is part of a series of four annual events aimed at promoting sports participation among students and providing a competitive environment that allows them to engage in athletic experiences that ignite their spirit of challenge and enthusiasm, moving beyond the traditional framework of school physical education classes.

The gathering, tailored for the age group of 7 to 12 years, offered a comprehensive interactive experience in seven individual sports: archery, fencing, judo, taekwondo, karate, athletics, and table tennis, supervised by qualified coaches and a specialized technical team.

A Holistic sport experience

On this day, sports were not just a physical activity but a comprehensive experience that combined skill, challenge, and self-discovery within an environment that encourages girls to develop holistically. The training sessions were conducted within the Olympic center's facilities, designed to the highest standards, ensuring a safe and stimulating environment.

Participating students and teachers expressed their positive interactions with the gathering, affirming that this experience enriched school physical education classes by providing a specialized training environment that allows students to apply their skills in a professional atmosphere, integrating educational and physical aspects.

Statements from the Foundation: Towards a Sports Environment That Cultivates the Future

Commenting on the event, Hanan Al-Mahmoud, Vice President of the Sharjah Women's Sports Foundation, stated:

"We believe that introducing students to specialized sports at this age is a true investment in their future. We aim to establish a culture of participation and expand community engagement with women's sports, from school to the field."

Al-Yazia Al-Suwaidi, Head of the Technical Preparation and Follow-up Department at the foundation, noted that:

"What distinguishes this second gathering is the increased interaction and the clear development in the students' understanding of the nature of specialized competition. We carefully monitor these indicators to benefit from them in preparing for future gatherings."

Building an educational sports model

This initiative embodies one of the practical steps taken by the Sharjah Women's Sports Foundation to activate its partnerships with schools and enhance the presence of its sports initiatives in the field. This aligns with its vision to establish a culture of specialized sports, expand girls' participation, and build an integrated system linking the educational environment with the sports community in the emirate.
