Date of latest update: 2021-05-04

Description

Description (EN):

Basketball and street ball as team games have become one of the most popular sports in Latvia and Lithuania, however on local level organization of tournaments is very limited and potential of such events for involving local people in active sports life is under utilised. The project objective is to establish a tradition of regular basketball championships and street ball tournaments with participation of teams from border area municipalities. The project results in the establishment of cooperation network of the sport institutions on both sides of the border, increased interest of local population in sports and healthy lifestyle as well as initiates the tradition of regular championships by creating a Borderland Basketball League, organizing joint championship and 2 street ball tournaments which are promoted on a specially developed website. In addition, 10 sport halls and 5 street ball fields are renovated and equipped thus creating conditions for regular training of basketball and street ball players.
