An Active, Energized Summer with MILO: Get Your Child into Sports!

Annual summer clinic strengthens commitment in nutrition and sports for child development

Last May 3, 2019, the MILO Summer Sports Clinic Media Sampler event was held at Alphaland Makati Place. The event was gathered with media/bloggers together with their child. The kids got a chance to experience the MILO Summer Sports Clinic!

There's still time to make the most out of your child's summer break with the second wave of MILO Summer Sports Clinics this May until June. With its unwavering commitment to provide the nutritious energy to get more children into sports, MILO's yearly program continues to offer a wide array of exciting sports activities that kids can participate in throughout the summer.

As part of the longstanding "Get Your  Child into Sports" advocacy, the MILO Summer Sports Clinics aims to reinforce the importance of sports in a child's holistic development. Children today are faced with numerous barriers that hinder them from engaging into sports such as digital distractions, lack of safe play places, and fear of trying. MILO's annual summer program seeks to address these challenges by highlighting sports as a means not only to get kids active, but also to teach valuable life lessons one can learn outside the classroom.

Energizing More Children

This year, MILO makes the Summer Sports Clinics accessible to more aspiring young athletes as they continued their expansion in the Visayas and Mindanao region. The clinics started nationwide last end-March and continues tnis May until June, in over 700 venues to more than 30,000 children nationwide.

Arnis, Ultimate Frisbee and Wushu are this year's newest additions to the program's sports offerings. Apart from those sports, the MILO Summer Sports Clinics will continue to provide training to different sports disciplines, namely Badminton, Basketball, Chess, Fencing, Football, Futsal, Golf, Gymnastics, Karatedo, Lawn Tennis, Parkour, Swimming, Table Tennis, Teakwondo, Touch Rugby, and Volleyball.

To further enhance the summer clinic experience of the participants, select clinic organizers will offer a MILO Welcome Kit that contains an exclusive Summer Sports Clinics drawstring bag and MILO to ensure the participants will get their Champion Energy Nutrients when they embark on their summer courses. 

"MILO contains Champion Energy Nutrients such as milk, Protomalt, B-Vitamins, and Iron to help children get active especially in sports," said Willy De Ocampo, Nestle Philippines Vice President. "So, not only will the kids get the physical and social benefits at the Summer Sports Clinics, they will also be provided with the nutritious energy of MILO."
