Competitions of Homenetmen Hrashq launched as part of 48th Navasartian Games

As part of the 48th Navasartian Games, competitions organized by “Hrashq” have kicked off at the Homenetmen Glendale Ararat Chapter.

“Hrashq” is a program designed for athletes with special needs, offering participants the opportunity to unlock their full potential. With a uniquely tailored coaching system adapted to each child’s individual needs, the program inspires everyone by helping young athletes develop skills and confidence.

“We currently have 67 active athletes, aged 5 to 55, and 125 coach-volunteers—without whom this program wouldn’t be possible,” said Katrin Matavoosian, the program’s secretary, in an interview with Alpha News.

David Beard, the program’s athletic director, highlighted that every athlete has a personal coach.

“Winners of first, second, and third places will also receive a participation medal—for simply joining us. Our athletes are amazing. It’s been a real pleasure working here at Hrashq,” the coach said.

The mission of “Hrashq” is to provide participants with opportunities for socialization and inclusion while actively addressing challenges related to disabilities.
