The Kaunas “Žalgiris” club welcomes the new school year by presenting changes to one of the parts of the club’s pyramid. From now on, the young athletes of Kaunas will be educated in basketball and soccer academies, which will be united by a common name: Kaunas “Žalgiris” academy.
The Kaunas “Žalgiris” basketball school will be called hereafter Kaunas “Žalgiris” Basketball Academy and the Kaunas “Tauras” Sports School – Kaunas Žalgiris Football Academy. These changes will further strengthen the Žalgiris club pyramid and community.
“We wanted to combine the basketball and soccer academies to achieve the greatest possible clarity. We wanted everyone to understand that we follow the same principles in both basketball and soccer. We are connected not only by the same sign, but also by the values of the same “Žalgiris” system, which are even more important in our pyramid “, Paulius Motiejūnas, the club director, was happy with the changes.
More than 1,100 school-age girls and boys, led by more than 30 coaches with many years of experience, play sports and train regularly at the Kaunas Žalgiris Basketball Academy.
The most talented basketball players from the Žalgiris Basketball Academy will be able to take further steps in men’s basketball: Žalgiris-3 team competes in the Regional Basketball League (RKL) and Žalgiris-2 team competes in the National Basketball League ( NKL). The main gate of the Žalgiris team is also waiting at the top of the pyramid.
“The academies are the foundation of any strong sports organization, so we are pleased that the Žalgiris club is showing initiative and wants to work in this direction. This will further strengthen the ‘Žalgiris’ name and the club community in the city.” said Martynas Račkauskas, Director of the Kaunas “Žalgiris” Basketball Academy.
500 children, including not only boys but also girls, constantly train at the Kaunas Žalgiris Soccer Academy. 21 soccer coaches work responsibly with young athletes in training at the academy.
Graduates of the Žalgiris Football Academy also have all the conditions to enter men’s football. Initially, Kauno Žalgiris C, who plays in the LFF II League South Zone Championships, Kauno Žalgiris B, who plays in LFF First League, and Kauno Žalgiris, the main soccer team that competes in the strongest league in the country and participates in the UEFA tournament teams for the second year in a row will be waiting for you. The women’s team “Kauno Žalgiris” also competes in the strongest league in the country.
“The main objective of the soccer academy is to educate the players of the main team. Currently, Kaunas Žalgiris B and C teams are formed on the basis of the players from our academy, and a large number of our most talented soccer players are invited to the Lithuanian youth teams. Everyone knows that “Žalgiris” is the strongest sports organization in the Baltic countries. This name helps draw attention to ourselves and encourages us to push ourselves, ”said Laimis Bičkauskas, director of the Žalgiris Football Academy.
From now on, the Žalgiris basketball and football academies will be linked not only by name or logo, but also by the Zalgirioakademija.lt website, from which both academies can be accessed.
