At the sports facilities of the Volga region Academy passed entrance tests on the OFP and the chosen sport for those who dream of becoming an "academician". Specialized exam was passed by students of faculties of physical culture and sports. Very soon, the happy owners of high scores will be able to call themselves freshmen. In the meantime, let's return to the stadium, where serious passions were boiling.


This year the Academy will test a new system: when practical tests are divided into two days - by faculties. This is due to the increase in the number of applicants. What can be seen with the naked eye on the impressive crowd of guys and girls outside the stadium, in the same white shirts with numbers.  Of course, the chances to meet among the students of the athlete of high qualification higher on the day when the exams in the OFP pass applicants to the faculty of sports. But my first interlocutor is an example of the fact that among future physical education teachers and managers you can also meet professionals.
I'm meeting a guy who just jumped off the bar. Artem Karpovich arrived in Kazan from St. Petersburg, a pupil of the famous Academy "Smena", played for the teams of different ages "Zenit", for the youth team "Tosno". And to get a higher education without interrupting "production" - read, his sports career, he decided in Volga region Academy. Moreover, in the direction of sports management.
- Closer to autumn I want to go through the viewing in "Rubin". But Kazan chose to study because of good reviews about the quality of training and modern facilities. I hope I will go "on the budget", like the points I have good. And the practical exam, for those who can play football, was not the most difficult. However, my priority profile is sports management. In my opinion, this is a more diverse profession, with such education in the future, you can work a lot to come up with…
Head of the Department of football and hockey Valeriy Pokaninov did not disappoint that some of the potential players of the football teams of the Academy, do not enter the profile of the specialty.
- Students have the right to study where they want, we will not agitate in any way. If the guy is talented, he can speak for the University, studying in any of the areas. Our goal is to make high-class specialists out of good athletes.
Plural Pro teams Potanino says is no accident as it intends to create in the University a few teams for performance in separate tournaments. According to Valery Borisovich, it will create competition and" grow " educational indicators. Football players-students should be enough for several teams.
- This year's competition for specialization among players is high -4 people per place. The level is different. There are trained, trained in terms of technology and tactics. Among them are Kazan "ruby", there are those who came from other regions, with experience in professional clubs. Everyone has a great desire to do it to us.
Volleyball players "Dinamo Academy" Tatyana Simanikhina, Anastasia Kotikova, Svetlana Masaleva and Anna Prasolova, with whom I talked after passing their tests on the 100-meter, interesting just future coaching experience.
- We completed for tourism managers in the College (School of the Olympic reserve) - says Semenihina. - We don't know for sure yet, but we are confident in our abilities. OFP did well. We support each other, we are a team! that is included in the conversation Anastasia Kotikova, whose sister Anna was admitted to the Academy without examination on the rights of the champion of the youth European championship. So the girls know what they're talking about.
The higher the sports level of students, the better, convinced the head coach of the women's volleyball team of the Academy Viktor Makarov.
-It is good, first of all, for the educational process. If students have been trained in sports schools, some things they understand at a glance. Mutual enrichment goes, because each coach teaches in his own way, especially when it comes to other regions. Something myself adopting when I see unusual items. The level of students this year is very decent. There are two European Champions, finalists of the Russian championship.... Many of them will study on an individual schedule, as they play for professional clubs. Two years ago we had an incomplete group, and now we have an opportunity to select girls in team. Someone will be very hurt.
A big competition and inevitable dropout in the Volga region Academy in recent years - the norm in almost all sports. Head of the Department of cyclic sports Sergey Pavlov shared his vision of the situation:
- We have a growing number of students with a high level of results in athletics and skiing. The level of skill compared to last year is higher. These are the fruits of our career-oriented work at the competitions, where teams and teachers went. This year the guys came from Nizhny Novgorod, Samara regions, Udmurtia. Now choose on professional grounds. There are still those who show better results. The" budget " will receive only the top 25. Many will be left behind. Tightened this year's rowers and swimmers. Not everyone who was invited to Kazan will be able to qualify.
And if athletes have an advantage over representatives of other sports in running speed, then, according to the Dean of the faculty of sports Robert Bikmukhametov, gymnasts or wrestlers will be able to compensate for this minus on the bar. The Dean is sure, in the end, the chances to show the passing ball are aligned. Much more impressive is the difference between professional athletes and those who did not build a sports career. To equalize the chances, the exams are given indicators of the average age of the sports school.
Admired is the perseverance of those who, despite the circumstances, enters into competition. Nastya Intizarak, for example, arrived in Kazan from Georgievsk, Stavropol territory, where he was engaged in volleyball in section:
- I want to become a coach, I came to Kazan, because volleyball is more developed here. DIF passed the average, and specialization... my fault, made somewhere mistakes. But on examination I have high scores... and there is hope!
