Jeju City Sports Council Opens Registration for 2025 Youth Sports Programs
The Jeju City Sports Council is expanding access to athletics for local children, announcing the recruitment of participants for its 2025 second-half youth sports class. Designed specifically for elementary school students residing within Jeju City, the initiative aims to foster healthy growth and increase sports participation through a variety of structured activities.
Registration for the program opens on August 18 at 11:00 AM local time and will run through August 21. Given the high demand seen in previous sessions, the council will utilize a first-come, first-served online registration system via the official Jeju City Sports Council website.
Available Sports and Enrollment Capacity
The council has curated a selection of sports to provide a balanced athletic experience. To ensure quality instruction and safety, enrollment is strictly capped for each discipline. Participants are limited to one sport per person to allow more students the opportunity to join.
- Basketball: 30 participants
- Swimming: 30 participants
- Futsal: 24 participants
- Bowling: 20 participants
To promote inclusivity, the council is applying a “latest participant first” selection principle. If a specific sport does not meet its full quota with new applicants, the remaining spots will be opened to students who participated in the first half of the year.
Program Schedule and Logistics
The 2025 second-half session is scheduled to run from August 25 through November 29. Activities will capture place at designated venues, including local stadiums and gymnasiums, ensuring students have access to proper facilities for each sport.
In a move to remove financial barriers to youth athletics, the Jeju City Sports Council has confirmed that the tuition for these classes is entirely free. This approach follows a successful first-half program that saw high participation rates and strong satisfaction from both students and parents.
Commitment to Youth Wellness
The initiative is led by Choi Ki-chang, President of the Jeju City Sports Council, who emphasized the importance of physical activity in childhood development. Reflecting on the success of the earlier sessions, Choi noted that many children improved their physical strength and enjoyed the social aspects of team sports.
Choi stated that the council has carefully prepared the second-half programming to ensure that children can experience athletic activities in a safe and happy environment. By focusing on tailored instruction, the council hopes to maintain the momentum of the first half of the year.
For those unfamiliar with the process, the registration is handled exclusively online. Parents are encouraged to visit the official notice page to review the attached application guidelines before the August 18 start date to avoid technical delays during the first-come, first-served window.
