Education via Sport at Schools
|
Kaunas is the city widely renowned for sports
in Lithuania. The inhabitants here have many choices of
various sports activities as the City provides them with
the possibilities not only to go in for traditional sports,
but also the development of new sports is very much encouraged.
Especially this year we seek to assure that 6.5 thousand
of the youth that are involved in various sports activities
in the sport schools could work efficiently and effectively.
A lot of young people are also attracted to the sports and
recreation clubs. The institutions of sport education and
sport clubs are involved not only in the preparation and
development of professional sportsmen, but also in educating
the youth. In this school year, more than 4.2 thousand children
will start their education at the sport schools in Kaunas
City. Also, the same number of pupils will also be enrolled
in various sport clubs.
Solving
the problems of the preparation of sportsmen, there is a
cooperation among all the sport, education, social and health
care institutions. Therefore sport, education and physical
training are inseparable. Kaunas is very actively contributing
to the formation of wholesome lifestyle attitudes. All the
institutions of extra education and sport training seek
for conformity in education and sport training.
This year has brought remarkable achievements
to the city. The sportsmen from Kaunas have won the Lithuanian
Youth Sport Games with the programme of matches in 20 sports.
During the period of more than ten years of Lithuanian independence,
Kaunas City sportsmen are leading in the sport games and
competitions in Lithuania.
We strongly believe that the year of Education
via Sport helps many people in choosing sports and physical
activities in the public life. Sport has become not only
the way of passing the time. It also brings national pride
in one's own nation and patriotism.
