Sands are necessary not only for big cities: Tauragė’s ambition is a modern multifunctional center

Wineries no longer motivate young people.

In Tauragė County, as in parts of other regions of the country, there are still no adequate venues to host larger sports, cultural events, and daily sports activities. The existing infrastructure is outdated and cumbersome, so some classes take place in premises that do not meet modern training conditions.

Greco-Roman wrestling coach and physical education teacher Jonas Sabutis, who has raised many Olympic athletes, says that even sports as popular as wrestling or soccer cannot boast of adequate training conditions in the area. It is especially difficult for representatives of the latter in the cold season of the year: there are no suitable venues and school gyms reluctantly admit athletes.

“It is time for the fighters to come out of the basements. Although the facilities are being improved, the conditions are still not what they should be. The columns still stand in the middle of the room. It is like playing soccer on a field with a big tree that grows in the middle, “he says.

Gintaras Cemnalianskis, founder and coach of the karate club, believes that children’s motivation and activity have changed dramatically today: children are used to comfortable living, increasingly reluctant to choose active activities, which is deteriorating their Health: The number of children with spinal deformity and overweight is growing. Ensuring comfort and proper conditions would become a greater motivation for them.

“Today is not the time when it was possible to kick the ball and run outside. Life is changing, so offers and conditions must change. Children need to be invited to classes in a different way, because they themselves tend to choose an activity: look at your phone, “says G. Cemnalianskis.

Arena: an incentive for culture and sport.

To improve the situation in the county, it is planned to build a multi-functional arena in Tauragė, adapted to sports and cultural activities with its engineering solutions. After the signing of the contract, Synergy Solutions is already implementing almost 7,947 square meters. meter. sand design work.

The arena facilities are planned to be adapted for at least 8 sports such as basketball, volleyball, mini soccer, wrestling, badminton, etc. The venue will be equipped with 3 treadmills, a sand volleyball room with three fields. Athletes who have not had such opportunities so far will also be able to train in the cold season. There will be modern sanitary facilities and a cafeteria.

“It just came to our attention then. When designing, we did not define that, for example, there will only be one boxing hall, because many sports will be able to organize classes there. It will be a center that can adapt to the needs of different sports in the shortest possible time ”Says Tomas Kazlauskas, project manager of the company.

Another important function of the new building is a space for cultural events, which will help increase the development and accessibility of culture in the region. According to T. Kazlauskas, we are currently working responsibly with the acoustic properties of Tauragė Arena, which are especially important for such buildings, but are often neglected.

The arena is slated to have 1,500 seats, and around 2,500 people will be able to sit during larger events. “Currently, there is no center in the county that can accommodate more than 500 people, so larger concerts or performances are not organized due to lack of infrastructure,” said Dovydas Kaminskas, mayor of the Tauragė district municipality. Arena location, Bernotiškės str. 11, chosen at random: it is a convenient location in the city itself, with more than 50% of the students studying at the surrounding educational institutions. district students

The construction amount of the arena is slated to reach 9 million. euros The municipality of the Tauragė district will contribute 35% to the implementation of the project. money.
