Dear HKRunners,
I'd like to introduce to you a new community initiative for girls this summer founded by the Hong Kong Ladies Road Runners Club and Charmsports.
The programme "Girls Get Going" is a 7 week summer programme targeted at girls ages 9-13 in the Tuen Mun area.
The course is specially designed for girls within that age group with lessons that are fun and interactive. Each session will include simple exercises, stretches, team activities, as well as mini-lectures on topics such as nutrition, lifestyle and even yoga.
The sessions will be conducted in Cantonese but may include some English to add value to the children's learning.
The course fee is $100 for 14 sessons with 2 sessons (Mon and Fri) per week, starting from July 13 to August 28, 2009. Sessions will be held at Tuen Mun Siu Lun Sports Ground. The fee will include a Tshirt, water bottle, excursion to the Peak and a SPECIAL SURPRISE!
We hope that parents and teachers living in the Tuen Mun area can show their support for the "Girls Get Going" summer programme. The programme is non-for-profit as the objective is to educate and advocate the love of an active lifestyle for young girls who are particularly vulnerable to the negative influences in society.
For further information or enquiries, please feel free to contact me by email at girlsgetgoing@gmail.com or call 91393127
