Congratulations to Urith Toa, Steven Abraham, and Jonah Kautu!
Weβre proud to see you selected for the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) β Sports Management and Youth Leadership in the United States.
This exciting program brings together participants to explore American excellence in sports management and youth development. Participants will learn how U.S. schools and communities integrate flag football and other sports into education, promote athlete health and safety, and develop strong, sustainable sports programs that create academic, social, and economic opportunities for youth.
Throughout the program, participants will visit Olympic training centers, educational institutions, youth sports organizations, professional leagues, and community programs to discuss best practices in coaching, curriculum development, injury prevention, drugβfree leadership, and league management. They will also build valuable networks with U.S. counterparts as preparations continue for the LA2028 Olympics and Flag Footballβs historic debut.
We wish Urith, Steven, and Jonah every success as they represent Papua New Guinea on this exciting journey!
