The Qatar Winter Sports Committee is participating in the Summer Sports Camp for Young Athletes, organised by Qatar Foundation throughout July in collaboration with several national sports federations.
The participation reflects the Committee’s efforts to raise awareness of winter sports among young generations, identify promising talents and expand the base of winter sports practitioners in the country.
The first week of the camp’s activities began on Tuesday, while the second week is scheduled to start next Tuesday as part of a two-week programme featuring a diverse range of sporting activities.
The camp includes the participation of the Qatar Football Association, Qatar Basketball Federation and Qatar Chess Association, in addition to the Qatar Winter Sports Committee.
The opening of the programme was attended by Hassan Hisham Al Hababi, Secretary-General of the Qatar Winter Sports Committee, and Abdullah Shaheen Al Kaabi, Director of Sports Affairs and Pre-University Education at Qatar Foundation.
QWSC is taking part in the camp through three winter sports disciplines: ice hockey, curling and short-track speed skating.
Participants are introduced to the fundamentals of these sports through an engaging and interactive introductory programme that includes practical activities designed to help discover emerging talents and promote sporting diversity among young athletes.
QWSC Secretary-General Hassan Hisham Al Hababi said the Committee’s participation aligns with its strategy to promote winter sports and broaden participation by strengthening cooperation with national institutions.
He added that this also supports involvement in sports and community programmes, particularly those targeting school students.
Abdullah Shaheen Al Kaabi, Director of Sports Affairs and Pre-University Education at Qatar Foundation, welcomed QWSC’s participation in the camp.
He said the collaboration reflects the continued partnership between both sides and contributes to introducing students to new sports while expanding their athletic opportunities.
