Sporting Opportunities for Children

By Helen Vost | Managing Director

Sport taking place in Karachi school

Youth Sport Trust International's expert trainer was back in Karachi in March this year to support the development of a five year plan to transform further the teaching of physical education in schools and expand competition opportunities for children in cricket, rounders and athletics, as well as introducing additional sports.

With over 235 schools reached already through an initial pilot and thousands of children now enjoying the benefits of high-quality physical education, a new organisation based in Karachi - Jawaan Champions - has been created to deliver much wider rollout. An intense planning phase has been underway to align lesson plans with the curriculum in the Sindh province where Karachi is situated. These will cover invasion games, striking games and athletics for the under 9s, under 12s and under14s age groups. Work is also taking place to shape and redevelop the competition strategy in order to maximise the number of children who can benefit from the experience of competition and a pathway to sports clubs.

'Thank you for leading us and all your work in Karachi you have helped us moved forward and we now have a clear strategic plan for the curriculum.' (Feedback from Implementation Director in country to Youth Sport Trust International expert trainer)

A follow up visit to monitor progress and mentor support the Jawaan Champion Master Trainers by Youth Sport Trust International is planned for August 2025.

Thank you for your support.
