MAC Youth, in conveying a comprehensive understanding of Islam, believes in the importance of having a project focusing on athletic competition. Sports have been and continue to be a timeless pastime for young people. The MYathlon competition is designed to promote Islamic concepts of sound mind, body and spirit, as well as encourage healthy competition. The MYathlon is a means to reach out to many young Canadians, by providing them with an outlet to play, compete, and showcase their athletic abilities. Also, this is a forum to teach them principles of teamwork and good sportsmanship.
The Game
The team sports will be played according to the Official MYathalon Team Sports Rules. These rules will be strictly adhered to by all individuals involved in the game, including the players, coaches, spectators and referees. Rules will be available on the website, in the MYathalon Manual, and will also be given to each team upon registration.
