As part of the project to support youth basketball Uralkali allocated 1,713,000 rubles for the trip of seven junior teams from Berezniki (Olympic reserve school Olympian and Sports school Temp) and a team of Sports school Start from Solikamsk to the National Mini-Basketball Festival in Anapa. The number of participants reached nearly a hundred people.

The National Mini-Basketball Festival is held in Anapa for the 40th time from May 25 to June 9 in the recreation center Chernomorets. Basketball tournaments will be held among boys and girls born in 2002-2003 and girls born in 2001-2002. During the festival, in addition to basketball tournaments, it is planned to organize competitions in physical and technical training, as well as contests for captains and referees.





Children are going to the festival like it was a holiday, with a great mood. We expect positive experience from the trip so that the guys can have a rest and play with other teams,” says the coach of the Regional children’s and youth sports school of Olympic reserve Olympian Mikhail Presnyakov. “The main thing is to distract teenagers from the street. The more kids come to basketball, the better. The quantity results in future stars.
