Day 3
Champions don't just happen, they are made. The men and women we watch in awe and the teams we follow with pride are the result of a lifetime of preparation. Junior sports programs foster the talented individuals in their formative years and build children up to the champions we celebrate. Of course, not every child grows up to win Olympic gold. However, participation in sport improves health and has been shown to prevent depression.
How is your nation's junior sports program organised?

- How is your nation's junior sports program organised?
In both Arcacia and Lycanthia, the governing bodies for individual sports organise the junior programs. There is generally a policy of inclusiveness, meaning that anyone who wants to participate in a sport, can. As well as these official leagues, sport is an important part of the curriculum in both primary and secondary schools. Schools generally choose the sports on offer and have their own teams in certain sports as well as general physical education which includes a variety of sports, usually played on a rotating schedule. Some of the sports are traditional, such as football, hockey and soccer, whilst others, especially in primary school, are more novel. Whatever the sport and whatever the setting, the idea is to promote vitality by getting kids moving, as well as teaching valuable lessons like teamwork and strategy. Not only does this foster a healthy populace, but nurtures the talents of those destined for something great.

Re: Day 3
Sports in Ollingdale are a key part of the national curriculum in primary schools and secondary schools. Primary schools (6-11) must teach a minimum of 2 hours Physical Education a week, and must allow the children at least 30 minutes outside per school day. Subjects on the curriculum for Primary PE include: Football, Tag Rugby (m), Netball (f), Cricket, Hockey, Tennis, Badminton, Athletics, Rounders and Swimming.
All of these sports must be taught in a 2-year cycle every 2 years of Primary school. The country has many junior leagues, and a new Government initiative is being set up to promote sports in schools, outside of schools and provide funding for new community sports areas and new leagues for children and adults to compete in.
In Secondary Schools, (11-16), children must do at least 1 and a half hours Physical Education a week and must have a lunch break of at least 1 hour, including eating time. Subjects on the curriculum for Secondary PE include: Football, Rugby, Netball/Basketball, Cricket, Hockey, Tennis, Badminton, Volleyball, Rounders and Athletics. Ollingdale is concerned about rising obesity in the Western Hemisphere, and is fighting obesity with major sport incentives.
