30 thousand participants and almost 6.5 thousand trainings. The second season of the project “Sport for all” ended in Minsk

For four months, the project of the Presidential Sports Club “Sport for All” gathered sports fans and healthy lifestyles on its sites. During this time, almost 6.5 thousand trainings in more than 40 areas under the guidance of professional coaches took place in Minsk – about 30 thousand participants joined the project! The busy season ended brightly: a dance floor in the park named after M. Pavlov, a healthy picnic in Yablonevoy Square on Kalinovsky Street and a large-scale wellness movement in the park near the hotel "Belarus", the correspondent of sb.by reports.

- The main task of the Presidential Sports Club is to support sports and a healthy lifestyle. Projects such as Sport for All allow us to expand the activity of the population of our country, regardless of gender, age and sports hobbies.

The current season of the project “Sport for all” turned out to be really large-scale. The organizers added new activities, among which were, for example, yoga in hammocks, aerotracking, cycling and qigong. Another important innovation was the introduction of an inclusive direction – activities available to people with additional needs could be selected at each of the project’s six sites. Thematic events also appeared in the project: the participants will surely remember the FEST Movement, which took place during the Minsk Half Marathon, the Fragile Marathon, the Hawaiian Day... Although the second season of the project has just finished, Pavel Egorov does not hide: the organizers are already thinking about what can surprise the participants next year.

- The season was bright and long, - sums up the four months of the project coach Ekaterina Skurat. - Compared to last year, the project grew: in 2025, it was not so much sites and areas of training. This year, my eyes just ran out! New directions - for example, yoga in hammocks, aerostretching - aroused great interest. A lot of people came to get acquainted, to find out what it is. For some, they have become routine training. We will all be looking forward to next season.

This season, four-time world champion in sambo Svetlana Tymoshenko joined the project. She has been participating in another project of the Presidential Sports Club - "Bold Step", in which sambo training is conducted for children in socially dangerous situations. When organizers asked Svetlana to replace another coach this summer, she agreed. And soon she remained on a permanent basis - she conducted training in power directions in the Apple Square. Svetlana admits:

- As they say, I like such a move, I love sports and people who come here at the call of the heart. They don’t even need to be specifically motivated – they enjoy what they do, and they generate a lot of positive energy. For me, this is a close and native feeling: as during my sports career I was hungry to win, now before training. I want more and more! Sport for All is a very important project. Sport unites, and such initiatives show that our country loves sports and supports a healthy lifestyle. Here people meet, communicate, work together. Of course, this drive, adrenaline and communication will be missed. But we and the participants found in social networks — call, correspond. Now they ask, “Will there be online training?”

The participants of “Sport for All” agree with the words of Svetlana. Yulia Yakubovich, who visited the training in the park near the hotel “Belarus”, learned about the project in August last year. Then she spent a significant part of her time on Znianka - she played beach volleyball, went to a "healthy back", yoga.

- When I found out that the second season will be, I was happy and realized that I was waiting for the most sports summer in my life – the project presented a lot of training, types of movement and coaches. This is very valuable: you do not have to go around the city and look for something to do, everything is collected at the locations of the project. I have discovered a lot of new things - this season I have spent more than 250 training sessions, Yulia said. - Of course I'm looking forward to it. In the coming months, I will use the skills I have learned from different coaches. I collected the “azbuka of movements”: I analyzed what I liked, what was close. Although today is the end of the season, tomorrow we are going to play beach volleyball with those we met thanks to the Sport for All project – now we play independently.
