The district stage of school basketball leagues started yesterday in Lviv. Basketball became the second sport, after volleyball, that was successfully started within the framework of the project. This stage was opened by the youth teams of Lviv Lyceum (Wombaty) and secondary school No. 42 (Birds of Paradise).
This school year, the school basketball league will be held among boys born in 2007 and among girls born in 2010 and younger. 54 teams (41 boys’ teams and 13 girls’ teams) will take part in the district stage of the school league in this sport, which is almost 650 students. More than 100 gaming meetings are planned here.
The district stages of the competition will take place from April 3 to 30, at which the winners of the district competitions will be determined. They are the ones who get the right to participate in the next stage.
We remind you that Lviv school sports leagues are sports competitions developed in accordance with the world and European experience of such events. The main goal of the project is to create an atmosphere of a sports holiday among schoolchildren of the Lviv urban territorial community, as well as to increase the number of schoolchildren who engage in sports on a permanent basis and lead a healthy lifestyle. This project will show that an ordinary school team can be trained into a team of masters who will conquer the world and Olympic podiums.
At the district stages of the leagues, winners are determined, who receive automatic passes to the next stage. The city stages will take place in May, where the champions and prize-winners of the competition in each league will be determined.
