Since the start of our sport-social program for disadvantaged children and youths, including seminar, training, demonstrative and charity sports events, we organized a lot of specific tournaments and activities to promote physical, health and charity culture and to create opportunities for free and quality sport for everybody. We believe in the models “Sport with a Cause” and “Sporting is modern” and in 2015 we demonstrated how it could work – of course we are far from the thoughts that we did it in the best way, but … that’s why we hope to achieve even more in 2016 – together - and to finish our campaign! For this purpose, from the beginning of 2016 we already included many disadvantaged youths from Sofia, Bulgaria and from soon - from the periphery regions of our capital.
Now (from March to June) we included over 50 children and youths in our sports events like football and field hockey and gave them opportunity to play, train, teach and win…Again we had many amateur players and volunteers that participated in our sports events.
In months March - June, we realized one football charity tournament, 2 big tennis tournaments and 2 big periphery school demonstrations (in Sofia)! Only in the 2 big periphery school demonstrations we included over 50 different disadvantaged youths. You can follow these demonstrations - divided in field hockey and football - led by respective qualified instructors, in the attached pictures.
Out of our direct sports work - we continued with our research and scientific work and we are happy to share with some of our results - http://footura.com/index.php/category/pobeditel/nauka-i-sport/
We can continue following our unique model of social development only together with you!
Thank you
2016 started very intensively for Association Footura. When we wished wonders by the Christmas tree and many new events with bigger sense and impact, we didn't expect that this year will start so positively.
In the first two months - January and February, we realized a football charity tournament, 2 big tennis tournaments and 3 big table tennis tournaments! Only for these events we included over 100 different persons from various ages:
Age 10-18: 25 %
Age 18-35: 54 %
Age 35-65: 16 %
Our main focus - youths - form our main participant base, and what is great - they are different in the different sports. Many of them - especially these ones that are under 18 years old, have not bad potential not only for excellent social inclusion and success through sport, but they have great chances even for successful sport career and realization. We are really happy that we can work with them, we can contribute for their technical and physical development, their mental development (through the role-model, cup-motivation, competition elements, etc.)
Here are the links from all the sports events in January and February 2016 - with descriptions, pictures, video (we try), statistics, etc.

We started out sport scientific activities – in regards to increase theoretical knowledge of our coaches and specialists in the training and mentorship process.

3. Start of our poll, research and scientific activity among students (aged 8 – 14) and sports clubs working with children and youths in Sofia and in the whole territory of Republic Bulgaria.
- We gathered and still gather many questionnaires from various sports clubs – both amateur and professional, sports organizations, schools, universities, etc. We gather many individual questionnaires from many students in Sofia (studying in various schools) as we used video, internet and direct (face-to-face) methods. A team of us started to examine the situation in Bulgarian family, street, school, sports club, municipality, state from the perspective of Sports conditions and opportunities (for children, youths and amateurs).
Yes, we know that we are only in the beginning of our activities but we think that we are on the right way.
We will be happy to receive your opinions and advices about our next step and what to include more in our planned activities. We do it all together. Thank you
