Maltese MP proposes making sports mandatory for kids and teens in Malta

Feb 16 2022

MP Jean-Claude Micallef has proposed making sports mandatory for kids in Malta as part of developing a Common European Sports Policy.

Malta is currently ranking at number 1 in obesity apart from high blood pressure and high sugar related issues. ‘A mentality shift is imperative in terms of well-being and lifestyle’ he said.

He is now pushing forward some proactive ideas such as mandatory enrolment for kids between ages of 5 and 15 in any ports clubs. Parents would in turn get up to €1K tax reduction annually. Apart from supporting a better generation, the proposal aims to;

First, sustain a sports industry with over 100K active sports enrolments at one go; help build an upcoming generation that is more competitive, healthier mentally and physically, as well as; enrich one’s culture and education towards a sustainable environment, nutrition and well-being.

Micallef suggested the proposal when participating in the Working Group on Education, Culture, Youth and Sport as part of the Conference on the Future of Europe.

Micallef spoke to newsroom Newsbook, highlighting how while the EU focused extensively on economic and financial matters, no such attention was being focused on people’s wellbeing. This birthed the proposal for a European Common Sports Policy.
