Sports Mentor is a program that helps children, regardless of their social status, develop self-confidence, as well as their physical and social skills through sports.
In this case, the coach is not only a teacher for children, but also a friend and a person who motivates them to achieve more.
Under the Sports Mentor Program, we aim to:
• increase children's physical activity;
• involve children into sports;
• encourage children to achieve results;
• prevent antisocial behavior and emotional discomfort.

In November 2021, the Parimatch Foundation launched weekly fitness classes for children in a refugee shelter at the Kofinou Hospitality Center, near Larnaca. As part of the Sports Mentor Program, the fitness instructor was engaged in physical education with children twice a week for a year. And their parents had the opportunity to attend medical education programs on a monthly basis.
At the Nicosia Multi-Purpose Center, experts from the Parimatch Foundation also conducted weekly "Zumba kids" and "modern dance" classes for children participating in child protection and employment programs (5-12 years old).
This is an afternoon employment program for teenagers from low-income families. Its goal is to provide a reliable caregiver, healthy rest and proper preparation of children for school.
Twice a week, a trainer provides fitness classes with self-defense and mixed martial arts elements for all children. The courses are conducted in cooperation with the Cyprus Mixed Martial Arts Federation and the private school "MMA School — The Cage".
Just before the start of the summer holidays, the СF Parimatch Foundation completed the first year of the Sports Mentor Program in the Kofinou Hospitality Center. The Foundation organized a summer excursion for 25 children to the Kakopetria Adventure Park — a rope park offering adventure and entertainment.
