Kalano Community Association’s Sport and Recreation program is a new, self-funded initiative started in 2023 to engage the Youth in our community and promote physical health and fun! Designed with the spirit of community and youth engagement, our program offers an array of activities tailored for kids. Led by experienced mentors, Marcus Rosas and Miriam Manbulloo, our program promotes physical health and fosters cultural pride and teamwork. By integrating sport into after-school programs, we provide a safe and constructive environment where children can not only burn off excess energy but also learn invaluable life skills such as teamwork, discipline, and resilience. Through the universal language of sports, kids are encouraged to explore their potential, build self-confidence, and cultivate healthy habits to build on from an early age. We will look to run multiple programs throughout the year as well ensuring our community kids get better access to attending other sporting events and programs taking place in and around the Katherine region.
