Al Qurs, head of the organising committee, told Sharjah24 that each of the four weeks carries its own theme: the first centres on "family", the second on "artificial intelligence", the third on "Here is Sharjah", and the fourth wraps things up under the banner "sport".
Al Qurs said the Sharjah Sports Council has been deliberately balancing fun with substance—mixing educational content into the recreational programme so participants get a looser, more enjoyable experience while still walking away having learnt something. The approach appears to be working: registrations have already reached 2,600 participants.
The programme is open to two age groups—youngsters aged 7–12 and teenagers aged 13–17—who are members of clubs across the emirate. This year's edition brings together 17 sports and specialist clubs, all working to give young members a structured but varied summer.
Beyond keeping children active during the break, organisers see the programme as a pipeline for spotting promising young athletes and steering them towards Sharjah's sports and specialist clubs.
The launch press conference was held at the Sharjah Cultural Chess Club, with Mohammed Obaid Al Hassan, Secretary General of the Sharjah Sports Council, in attendance alongside several club chairmen, Al Qurs, members of the organising committee, club representatives and journalists.
