THE Milo-sponsored 2008 Summer Sports
Clinics opens anew to provide kids the scientific training in
different sports disciplines aside from helping them develop
values that would guide them both inside and outside the
sporting arena.
Now on its 26th year, the clinics will be
held from March to May to teach kids the basics of badminton,
basketball, bowling, chess, football, gymnastics, ice skating,
karatedo, lawn tennis, muay, swimming, taekwondo and
volleyball in a unique, fun-filled, and scientific manner.
Highly-trained and experienced coaches will
be supervising each internationally-accepted program to make
sure trainees develop to their full potential.
Aside from learning how to play, the
clinics will also help kids develop character-forming values
like discipline, teamwork, self-confidence, leadership,
resilience and fair play.
The Milo Summer Sports Clinics have bred
champions in different fields, including Paola Obanana in
badminton, Paolo Mendoza, Patrick Fran and Larry Fonacier in
basketball, Olympian Bea Lucero and Southeast Asian Games
medalists Tammy de Guzman and Roel Ramirez in gymnastics,
Grandmaster Mark Paragua in chess, Davis Cupper Johnny Arcilla
in tennis and Japoy Lizardo in taekwondo.
According to Nestlé AVP and Milo sports
events executive Pat Goc-ong, the Summer Sports Clinics
demonstrates the commitment of Milo to promote sports and
discover and nurture the country’s next champions.
