The Regional Games

The regional games are usually held in the regency level. Most of the participants are SD, SLTP, and SMU students. They participate in field events, volleyball, basketball, swimming, badminton, etc.

There are eight events. Not all of them are always on the schedules of track meet(lomba lari), especially in competition among schools. Four are jumping events, and four are throwing. All eight require a combination of strength and skill, and each has its on requirements.

The track events are the easiest to learn. In the simplest ones, all you have to do is run. The field events which are held on the field rather than on the running track, are more difficult and when done well involve a variety of skill.

Boys and girls participate in similar events but the events have been modified according to the age, size, and strength of these competitors.

The best athlete in the regional games have the right to participate in the events of provincial level. They form one group or contingent from their regency. The sport events are best held during the holidays. When they are free each of them will have the opportunity to be the champion.
