Eleven
Indonesian teachers and youth program directors are playing an integral
role in creating three recreational youth sports leagues in Indonesia.
The Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs sponsored this program
through the Institute for Training and Development in Amherst, Massachusetts.
Participants learned about organization and management of youth sports
and sports coach training.
In
Indonesia, few recreational sports leagues exist. The organizational support
for league development will be provided by the National Association for
Islamic Youth, a mosque-based organization that runs youth programs in
several communities. | |||
