Malta, PFJL Partner to Host Medical Clinic for Young Footballers

In a continued effort to make a meaningful impact on the holistic development and well-being of Jamaica’s young footballers, Malta and Professional Football Jamaica Limited, PFJL, hosted a free medical clinic at the Anthony Spaulding complex, on the weekend.

This event brought down the curtain on the final leg of the pilot youth development initiative, dubbed ‘Malta Sparks’.

Noting the physical and mental demands of student athletes, especially those who wish to play football at the professional level, the clinic was designed to bridge gaps in medical care and athlete preparation by offering essential services and workshops to equip students with the skills necessary to fuel their passion for the sport and drive long-term impacts.

Junior brand manager, Cavell Robinson, says Malta is deeply committed to the holistic development of our youth athletes.

Throughout the pilot programme, which began with Arnett Gardens, Portmore United, Harbour View, and Waterhouse Football Clubs and later expanded to schools including Vauxhall High, Charlie Smith High, Kingston College, Wolmer’s and Emmanuel Christian Academy, student athletes were engaged in sessions covering personal branding, media engagement, nutrition, and wellness.

CEO of JFPL. Owen Hill says this broader focus demonstrates that a successful career in sports involves more than just physical training – it requires well-rounded development.
