Sports should be among schools’ priorities

Editor,

Through your paper I would like to encourage parents and teachers to promote sports development in schools. Children need a lot of physical activity and there is no fun way to do it that through sport.

And if this is encouraged at the youngest levels of school, there is no doubt that the country would nurture top athletes.

I have been reading in your paper about holiday camps where the youth converge and a number of activities are carried out.

I hope to one day see football camps, tennis camps, cricket, volley ball, name it. These can be organized by schools or even parents.

Such activities are not only fun but healthy too.
