This year, the wards of “Senate” are teenagers from the city center of social programs and prevention of asocial phenomena among young people “CONTACT”. The aim of the classes is to improve communication skills, develop self-confidence and understand your place in society.
Training traditionally takes place on the floor of the academy of the basketball club “Senate”. From games to acquaintance with each other began to directly familiarize themselves with the technique of basketball. In the second training session, Khalid Vagapov, the head of the team, was training the children’s goals of the ball.
“Basketball educates and shapes character, and this is the most important thing that is at this age. Here they only get stronger, we give the best, through basketball, we project what they will be in life. With such guys very interesting, each of them has a peculiar fate, many of the difficulties families and with certain problems came here. I would like to help them so that they do not get lost in this life. Life itself is harsh, and the love and attention we give them here will certainly be useful to them in life. I think that basketball will help them and us to become kinder and more tolerant of each other,” Vagapov was quoted as saying by the official website of the company.
The One Team project is run by 42 clubs across Europe. Each club chooses a certain social category of the population, which is vulnerable and needs help. Using basketball, One Team athletes develop communication skills, communication, self-identification, ability to concentrate on certain tasks, as well as the ability to solve complex problems. And this is all in addition to the sports part of the training.
