The Authority for Integrity in Maltese Sport (AiMS) and the Office of the Commissioner for Children (CFC) yesterday 16th September 2026 released guidance information continuing their commitment to safeguarding and wellbeing of minors participating in sport.

In line with this commitment, AiMS and CFC recommend that minors attending compulsory educational institutions conclude their sporting training sessions by specific times according to their age group on the evenings before school days:

By 7:00 p.m. for minors under 6 years of age;
By 8:00 p.m. for minors under 11 years of age; and
By 9:00 p.m. for minors under 16 years of age.

These recommendations are intended to support a healthy and appropriate balance between sporting participation, educational obligations, rest, and overall wellbeing. Through this measure, AiMS and the CFC seek to foster an environment in which young athletes can pursue sporting excellence while ensuring their holistic development and best interests remain paramount.

The Malta Tennis & Padel Federation is pleased to announce the forthcoming organisation of another edition of the 'Play Tennis Course', the introductory coach education programme developed by World Tennis (formerly the International Tennis Federation).

The course is intended for individuals interested in beginning or further developing their involvement in tennis coaching, including aspiring coaches, assistant coaches, former players and others actively involved in the delivery of tennis programmes.

At this stage, the Federation is inviting expressions of interest from affiliated clubs and academies. Clubs and academies are requested to submit their nominations by email to [email protected], providing the following information for each nominee:

Full name

Individuals who are not being nominated through a club or academy are also welcome to express their interest providing the same details.

Applicants should ensure that they are available to attend the full course on all four days. Places will be limited, and the submission of an expression of interest does not guarantee acceptance.

Following the expression-of-interest phase, confirmed participants will receive further information regarding the course programme, participation requirements and payment arrangements.

We encourage clubs and academies to identify suitable individuals who may benefit from this coach-development opportunity and support the continued growth of tennis within their respective programmes.

The Malta Sport Coaches Association (MSCA) was pleased to welcome the Malta Football Coaches Association (MFCA) for a cordial and constructive meeting this morning.

It was evident that both associations have an important role to play in advancing the recognition, development and professional standing of coaches in Malta. While the MFCA has a specific focus on football coaches, the MSCA represents the wider coaching community across all sports throughout the Maltese Islands.

Both parties agreed that the way forward is to work hand in hand—respecting their distinct roles while remaining united by a shared goal: to support coaches and elevate the coaching profession in Malta.

We look forward to translating this positive meeting into meaningful collaboration and joint initiatives between the MSCA and the MFCA.

From Coaches, for Coaches!
