The widely-renowned sports grassroots program of MILO will embrace the new normal by exploring the digital platform.

Through the years, the prized and exemplary sports program of MILO has been all around the Philippines, touring from Luzon to Visayas just to conduct their sports clinics.

“Dahil sa sitwasyon ngayon, ‘yung mga kabataan ay talagang kailangan na mag-stay home. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na porke’t naka-stay home ka ay hindi ka puwedeng maging active,” according to Lester P. Castillo, Assistant Vice-President, Nestle Philippines-MILO.

The online sports program will cater nine sports: arnis, badminton, basketball, football, gymnastics, volleyball, taekwondo, tennis, and karate.

All sports have courses and will be facilitated by the MILO coaches and mentors through their years of partnership.

“During the time, moms and dads are seeking for imaginative ways to keep their kids active and moving, and sports is the perfect outlet to promote not just a healthy lifestyle, but also instill valuable life lessons that their kids grow into well-rounded individuals,” added VP Castillo.
