MEMBERSHIP
Weightlifting Membership operates on Club level, Only Fiji Games when the individual athletes represent their respective districts. The district representation is largely dependent on the club membership.
CLUBS
Weightlifting Fiji has despite the COVID -19 Pandemic continued to be very active in creating events and reaching out to the community through programs, workshops and courses, Talent Identification Programs, outreach programs and competitions. Our eagerness and desire to spread the sport of weightlifting to the wider Fijian community has continued throughout the pandemic period and continues to grow.
We have also continued to grow the sport in the rural areas and as a result have managed to get support from many provinces to build training centres in the towns and villages.
Through our coaching Certification programs, our outreach programs and Talent ID programs, we intend to increase our participation numbers by 100% in the next year or two.
With assistance from government, NGO’s and the IWF we have managed to roll out these much-needed programs.
While we’re indeed happy and sincerely grateful for the assistance, our planning in accordance to our 2020 strategic plans mean more funding is required in order for us to continue on with the remainder of the activities. In summary Weightlifting Fiji strives to expand and grow the sport though coach and technical official development and training courses.
These courses will then equip our coaches with the necessary tools needed to effectively deliver our TID and outreach programs and hence provide a better opportunity for expansion and growth. With support from the OWF we’re confident that our work will continue and our goals attained.
