Six young participants engaged in three key activities: track, shot put, and long jump. 

This event provided a valuable opportunity for social interaction, skill development, and physical activity. Each learner was able to practice and refine techniques that they could take back to their respective schools and incorporate into their own sports days. 

In addition to skill-building, the event encouraged exploration of the stadium’s various facilities. Participants were given multiple chances to try each activity, fostering a sense of progress and personal achievement.
