Entries for the Ekurhuleni Kiddies Games now open
Ekurhuleni, in partnership with the Gauteng Sports and Recreation Department, is calling all pre-schools around Ekurhuleni to register for the 2015 Ekurhuleni Kiddies Games.
The games are vital for the wellness of toddlers during the early developmental stages.
“The kiddies’ games enable us to inculcate the love of sports, healthy living and prepare the children for a brighter future in sports, as well as to build their confidence in competitions,” said Ekurhuleni spokesperson Themba Gadebe.
Each pre-school is required to register a team of 10 participants consisting of five boys and five girls who are between the ages of five and six years old.
Registration for the competition is compulsory and paves the way for young champions to participate in the first level of the sporting event locally, in March this year.
The successful participants will then proceed to the regional level.
The registration cut-off date is on February 27.
The sporting activities will include ball throwing, ball hopping, ball kicking, ball dribbling, ring throwing, as well as cycling.
