The Volga region Academy of sports won the contest for the best organization of physical culture and sports work among higher education institutions of the Ministry of science and higher education of Russia. The grant for the implementation of the project "Volga Academy-territory of student sports and healthy lifestyle" includes 100 sports events with the participation of students of the Academy from September to December 2020.
In addition to organizing events within the framework of the grant, it is planned to update sports equipment and uniforms for the Academy's student teams, as well as purchase branded award attributes. The calendar of events of the project includes not only intra-University sports competitions, but also all-Russian tournaments in which University students take part. Thanks to the grant funds, student teams will be able to take part in exit tours. In turn, the Volga Academy will host a number of all-Russian competitions at its sports facilities. So, in November 2020, the University will hold the all-Russian festival of students of physical culture at its base in Kazan for the second time.
Teams of the Volga region Academy of game sports consistently perform in Federal leagues, occupying leading positions. And the University management considers the competitive component as an integral part of the educational process and professional development of students. This was stated more than once by the rector of the Volga Academy Yusup Yakubov. This integration of students into the professional sports environment was carried out annually at the expense of extra-budgetary revenues of the University. But this year, due to the situation with the coronavirus, it would be extremely difficult to resume the process. Now, thanks to the grant, with the improvement of the epidemiological situation and the resumption of tournaments, students will again be able to participate in competitions, including at the Federal level. We are looking forward to autumn!
