Register for Heart of a Champion Day
Due to ongoing concerns about coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), we’ve decided to cancel this year’s Heart of a Champion Day events. We know this is a disappointment, but the health and safety of our student-athletes, volunteers and communities is our top priority. And we all |
Heart of a Champion Day is a free sports-specific health screening and educational program for high school student athletes. The screenings include a review of the athlete’s medical history, a sports-specific medical and musculoskeletal exam, a heart exam and a vision test. The program is unique because of the heart screening, where all student athletes receive an electrocardiogram (EKG), which traces the heart’s electrical activity. A heart screening is performed to increase the chance of detecting a heart problem that could affect an athlete’s ability to participate in sports safely.
Traditional sports screenings may not detect these heart abnormalities. However, no screening program is designed to detect every abnormal condition. It is also important to note that this program is not intended to replace an athlete’s yearly well child exam.
The educational program provides information and intervention early when habits of healthy living can be set or modified and when young student-athletes are motivated to respond.
Heart of a Champion Day aims to:
- Identify high-risk disorders in student athletes
- Educate student athletes and their parents about injury prevention
- Provide at-risk student athletes with a treatment plan
- Ensure that previous injuries have been treated properly
- Discuss referral options recommended for further evaluation and provide resources to establish a primary care physician
Each student athlete receives a free:
- Review of medical history
- General sports screening for North and South Carolina
- Electrocardiogram (EKG)
- Echocardiogram (ECHO) if needed
- Orthopedic screening (musculoskeletal exam)
- Vision exam
- Access to a registered dietician
Heart of a Champion Day: A Personal Story
youtube.com/embed/qbArHyxFxgw” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen=”allowfullscreen”/>
Heart of a Champion Day statistics showing the number of student athletes screened and medical issues found are impressive. But it’s the personal stories, of students who were able to continue their athletic careers after being treated for a condition discovered during the screenings, that are most poignant. Independence High football player Jaylen Riley and his mother, Nicole, tell the story of his Heart of a Champion Day experience in 2014.

Heart of a Champion Day Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a physical or well-child check?
Heart of a Champion Day includes a sport-specific screening that exceeds the North Carolina High School Athletic Association and/or South Carolina High School League regulations for sports participation. Heart of a Champion Day screenings are not a physical and do not take the place of an annual well-child check or physical.
Why is this being offered at the end of the school year, instead of the beginning?
Heart of a Champion Day is designed to provide time for a student-athlete to receive any needed medical follow-ups before summer workouts begin.
Can my son/daughter attend at any time during the day?
No. Schools will have designated screening times, which will be released to the school’s athletic director.
What if I cannot drive my child to the screening site?
Heart of a Champion Day works with identified high schools to provide bus transportation from each high school to the event and back to the home school. Students must ride the bus; students in personal vehicles will not be allowed to participate (with the exception of the Union County event).
What should students wear and do?
Students should wear a T-shirt and shorts to the screenings. Females should not wear a sports bra. Wear contacts or bring glasses. Skin on chest should be clean and dry of lotions, creams, oils or powders. Please do not perform physical activity one to two hours before the screening.
What is an EKG?
An EKG, or electrocardiogram, is a completely painless, non-invasive test that evaluates the health of your heart. It measures heart rate and electrical activity and only takes about three minutes.
What is an ECHO?
An ECHO, or echocardiogram, is a completely painless, non-invasive ultrasound to look at the structure of the heart. It can be helpful in clarifying abnormalities seen on EKG, history or physical exam.
Will a diagnosis be made based on my child’s screening EKG and ECHO?
Yes. Cardiologists read the results of the screening in real time. If your child needs additional follow-up, you may request a copy of the results and they can be sent to your physician.
If my child’s EKG and ECHO are normal, does this mean they have a healthy heart?
Yes, to the best of this screening programs ability to detect heart abnormalities. No screening test is perfect.
What does it mean if my child’s screening indicates that further evaluation is needed?
It may indicate the presence of a serious condition that may require further follow-up testing and treatment by a physician.
Will additional testing be needed?
Your child’s physician will determine the need for further testing and treatment.
What if I do not have a physician?
Heart of a Champion Day assists families with finding a primary care physician and/or specialist for any follow-up testing.
How soon should I have my child see a physician?
If your child’s results show further evaluation is needed, you should have your child examined by your family physician within two weeks of being notified of the results of the screening; however they should not participate in physical activity until evaluated.
If my child’s screening indicates the need for follow-up evaluation and testing with a physician, does that mean he/she has a life-threatening condition?
Possibly. There is a chance of false positive findings; however, Heart of a Champion Day will assist in follow-up information.
Who are my child’s results shared with?
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) protects your child’s health information. Your child’s health information is only shared with you and officials at their school, to assure they have received the annual required sports screening.
What if I choose not to allow my child’s information to be shared with a school?
At this time, we may only screen participants who allow information to be shared with a child’s designated school.
When and how will I receive the results of the screening?
All results are sent directly back to your son/daughter’s designated school. If there is any need for follow-up, you will be contacted by Heart of a Champion Day.
What is a CHAMPION? – Tucson Country Day School
In addition to a rigorous academic program, TCDS strives for social excellence, helping students and staff learn and live the Champion Traits each day. These Champion Traits (see below) are taught in an integrated manner and learned through daily application. Equipped with these traits, students leave TCDS a Champion for life, prepared to effectively engage with their surrounding world. Imagine your child exhibiting the following traits every day…
WHY the Champion Check-in?
A Champion Check-in is a proven, proactive and intentional solution to building a bonded classroom community and fulfilling children’s need to belong, feel significant, have fun, grow trust and set a positive tone for interacting. We believe an important goal is to generate real “school spirit” in every student and staff member, to promote the excitement of learning and the desire to come to school.
Children often need a transition from home to campus, from lunch and recess returning to the classroom, and a meaningful closure at the end of each school day. A Champion-Check-in serves to provide this transition while simultaneously implementing the school culture we strive to have.
This time can be used to effectively communicate and clarify expectations, facilitate social emotional learning, establish and maintain norms, reinforce academic skills, engage meaningful reflection, discuss habits of work, provide feedback to each other, focus on Champion Traits and other virtues, practice mindfulness, grow empathy, conduct restorative practices when repair is needed, make decisions together, and ultimately build healthy relationships that enable academic and social success.
WHY get in a circle for the Champion Check-in?
For all our technological advances, humans have come to realize that we lost something along the way – a very simple and effective technology that fosters mutual understanding and connection in a way that often seems magical. We may find this ancient form of social discourse helps us address our greatest challenges.
Circles, by their very structure, convey important ideas and values:
Equity – everyone in the circle has equal seating
Safety and Trust – you can see everyone so nothing is hidden
Responsibility – everyone has a chance to play a role in the outcome
Facilitation – a circle reminds the leader to facilitate rather than lecture
Ownership – collectively, participants feel this is their space
Connection – everyone listens to everyone else’s responses
Meeting in a circle is powerful, implies community, inclusion, fairness, equality and wholeness. A circle establishes mutual respect and an even playing field for each member. Research confirms that the increase in anxiety disorders and inappropriate behavior in schools is a direct consequence of the overall loss of connectedness in our society. A circle allows people to face each other, look one another in the eye, thus diminishing the feeling of disconnectedness that permeates our modern world. It ensures that everyone is more engaged. The perspectives, facts and stories shared in a circle have the quality of cultivating empathy and influencing behavior. When people remove the barriers between them and make themselves vulnerable, it allows them to learn from and encourage each other. Through intentionally fostering a sense of belonging that constitutes a healthy classroom community – anxiety, fear, depression, loneliness, narcissism and violence decrease and academic performance flourishes.
HOW is a Champion Check-in facilitated?
- Allow 10 – 20 minutes, varying times depending on purpose
- Gather – get in a circle or oval, eliminating barriers, at the beginning of a section of each day (morning, after lunch/recess, dismissal), sit or stand shoulder to shoulder, look around and see everyone’s face, (can use a talking piece to aid with interruptions)
- Greeting – welcome everyone in the morning, create a friendly tone and trusting atmosphere, various greetings can be done individually at the door or after gathering
- Sharing – everyone has the opportunity to respond briefly to a chosen topic
- Activity (whole group participation) – active game, math activity, trivia, stretch, choral/quote/poetry/virtue reading, singing, practice classroom norms (how to sit or stand during check-in, how to respond to signal for quiet attention (open ears/closed mouth), how to circle up in an orderly way, how to ask respectful questions and make empathic comments, how to listen with attention and take turns
- Message – go over schedule, announcements, how to transition from a lively activity to settling down, students read prepared messages, information about the work block, transition to the next activity

Overall, Champion High School does what it is meant to; getting students to graduate. However, there are essential characteristics every school should have that I believe Champion personally lacks. Now, while I dislike having to admit problems in our school, they are all points I have brought up to staff in the past, and have gone unchanged. First of all, I plan on graduating and attending school for art, but Champion only offers art classes in fixed periods at the start of the day. During the same periods though, they also have fixed honors classes, so I haven’t been able to take an art class since I was a freshman. Secondly, there are multiple teachers at this school who make certain classes a nightmare, and caused me many bad mental health streaks. Despite these issues, I know most of the administrative staff mean well and care about students, they just need to actually take more student complaints and reviews to heart. Also, despite bad teachers, there are 2 or 3 really good ones.

Teachers are awesome for the most part. The classes are small. We do have a lot of different college classes offered and extra curricular activities. I love the theater program! Overall I’ve had a great experience.
I favored how my school had programs for just about anybody. It didn’t matter your race, age, or interest, they tried to make it very diverse. I wish they had have more resources about scholarships, job opportunities, and preparing students better.

What Parents say:
I am proud to be a champion Kidz parent! My child has been with them since 8 months old and absolutely loves his teacher Ms. Shawn and the owner Ms. Lorrel It’s truly like a family and everyone knows your child by name whether they’re his teacher or not. My child has grown so much since he’s been in the care of Ms. Shawn, she treats her daycare kids how she would treat her own! The facility is clean, the food is great, the rooms are engaging and there’s great playground equipment outdoors. We are thankful to have the loving, caring and trustworthy staff at Champion Kidz care for our child!

We are from “Dubravushka”
Happiness, according to Aristotle, is “the harmonious development of the personality under the accompanying circumstances.” A similar scheme is projected on the king, and on the merchant, and on the tiller, but with a small caveat that the accompanying circumstances – opportunities, are different for everyone. The Greek formula is simple, unpretentious and a little cynical, as, indeed, any wisdom.
It is on this principle that the system of public education is based in the world that is considered to be civilized. Most teenagers study in free public schools, traditionally forging the average citizen. Approximately one third of the total number of schoolchildren study in private schools , lyceums, gymnasiums, where the work of teachers is paid by parents and sponsors-trustees. Here the quality of education is guaranteed by monetary and commodity relations.
But there is a very thin layer, whose representatives traditionally study in closed boarding schools . Here the “elite of the nation” is nurtured. This definition is confirmed both by the glorious name of the institution itself and by the high-profile names of former graduates who became famous in the field of state activity, culture, and science. The future of these guys is to a large extent already predetermined by the “old school tie”, which, by the way, is carefully kept all their lives and is classified as a family heirloom like a family coat of arms, silverware or family traditions. School tie graduates private boarding schools often becomes their hallmark at social events, a recommendation – a characteristic when applying for a job. It was. And so it is. And, apparently, it will be so for a very long time. To paraphrase Winston Churchill (by the way, a graduate of the closed Harrow School), what could be more unfair than this! But has anything more perfect been created?
After the completion of a grandiose social experiment that lasted seven decades, in Russia they nevertheless risked revising the utopian ideas about Equality and Justice in society, which naturally affected all spheres of social life. And in public education, a return to the traditional structure for the whole world began. Leaving aside the discussion of the results of this step, one thing can be said: after ten years (the first private schools in post-Soviet Russia began their activities around 1988 or 1989), some of the so-called “fee-paying” schools proved their worth and the highest level of preparation of the “next generation”, which was predicted to experience spiritual poverty and a moral crisis.
Among them is the Dubravushka boarding school near Moscow, , which educates the new Russian elite. This is confirmed by state accreditation, and one hundred percent admission of graduates to well-known metropolitan universities, and its twenty-year history itself, which in modern times is both surprising and very significant. The “longevity” of the school, combined with the percentage of graduates who become students, is quite impressive!
Private school boarding house “Dubravushka” consists of ten residential, educational and administrative buildings surrounded by an old park. 4.5 hectares of territory is enough to feel the “Tsarskoye Selo freedom”. There are places here for elegiac solitary walks, and for horse rides, and noisy children’s games.
At the boarding school, boys and girls occupy separate buildings, each of which is a comfortable one-story brick building. Common hall, five living rooms, teacher’s office, toilets, showers. Greater comfort is hard to imagine. The guys live three – four – five people in a room, depending on age. Each building of the boarding school is equipped with everything you need: furniture, TVs and video recorders, games. A permanent teacher and two educators are around the clock with the pupils, look after the discipline, observance of the regime and hygiene of adolescents – in a word, they do everything so that household trifles turn into habits that distinguish a decent person from an ill-mannered shantrap.
The boarding school has 150 students from Moscow and other Russian regions. On weekends, Muscovites come home: on Friday, two school buses take them away, and on Sunday they pick them up from the Yugo-Zapadnaya metro station to take them back to school. But on weekends at the boarding school, the most interesting begins: all kinds of competitions, discos, excursions, performances of the school theater and many other fun and entertainment, which, of course, you will not get in Moscow. That is why many people stay here for the weekend.
It is unlikely that the director of the boarding school Anna Dmitrievna set the task of creating an exact copy of an English closed private school, but Dubravushka fully corresponds to the traditional British ideas about a private boarding school (public school): an old park with an elegant fence around the entire perimeter, beautiful buildings, located in a circle inside the park. Separate accommodation of pupils. Isolation of residential, educational, sports and administrative premises. Own publishing house, security system and utilities: laundry, computer and telephone networks. Add a farm in the Borovsky district that supplies the school with agricultural products, its own medical center, and it becomes clear that the school is an absolutely autonomous independent farm institution, which is not afraid of either siege or blockade.
Children in the boarding school “Dubravushka” are not divided into talented and mediocre, quick-witted and stupid, and even more so smart and stupid. Each student, they believe here, is distinguished not by natural talent and personal positivity, but by psycho-emotional originality, which affect intelligence, motor ability, the ability to assimilate information, diligence or laziness. Therefore, the approach to the child is individual. Strictly individual! The whole system of teaching is based on this principle. Teachers of the boarding school identify abilities, develop them in every possible way and further orient both the pupil himself and his parents to specialize in this area. Most importantly, any “unsuccessful” teacher perceives as his own. Teachers at the boarding school “Dubravushka” are distinguished not only by their high professionalism, but also by the principle of responsibility for each student, which is professed by the entire teaching staff. In addition to teachers from Moscow and the Moscow region, their colleagues from England work at the boarding school.
The education is based on a standard state program, but enhanced by in-depth study of foreign languages from the 1st grade, computer science, cultural history. At the boarding school “Dubravushka” they give a classical education and do not accept experimental, untested methods. But this does not testify to reckless retrograde, but to healthy conservatism, which allows us to preserve the best that was (and there was something to hide!) and prudently select what has appeared recently.
The main classes at the boarding school are held from 9.00 to 14.00. This time is devoted to the study of the classical school curriculum, which takes place at a higher level than in a regular school. Judge for yourself, a highly professional teacher teaches a lesson in a class not with 40 students, but 10-12! It is not necessary to explain that the effect in this case is much more visible.
From 17.00 to 20.00 – individual training. For those who are lagging behind, this is a meeting with a teacher-tutor. For others – electives, where certain topics are worked out in more detail, more deeply. And graduates with individual teachers are preparing for exams at the university.
These evening classes are especially important for those who have previously studied abroad. The difference between Russian and “Western” programs is very large. The main bias is excellent knowledge of a foreign language, but mediocre knowledge of Russian, mathematics, physics and chemistry. Statistics show that, for example, in mathematics or physics, Western European and American programs provide for an informative load 4 times less than ours.
The attitude to sports at the boarding school is just as serious. At the beginning of the school year, teachers and students get together to determine the sports sections. Of course, you can play tennis, karate (by the way, one of the students of the school is the champion of Russia), volleyball, equestrian sports and aerobics. But still, adults are advised to take sports more seriously and choose something specific. True, there are no restrictions on swimming. The pool is a great relaxation after any activity!
The children are sick. And, as in any normal family, they are cherished and pitied at the Dubravushka boarding school, and when necessary, they are provided with qualified assistance. In the medical building there is always a pediatrician and a nurse on duty around the clock. The treatment room is well equipped. No worse than the offices of an otolaryngologist and physiotherapy. The boarding school has contracts with the best specialists – any of them immediately comes to Dubravushka. Any examination and treatment do not present big problems. Schoolchildren are constantly under the supervision of a dentist and orthodontist. But still, any treatment and examination prescribed by doctors is negotiated in advance with the parents and the director of the school.
Fresh air, regimen, excellent nutrition, clean water are an excellent basis for the development of a child’s body. The children at the boarding school become much stronger and healthier, suffer from colds much less and practically forget about such a problem as allergies.
The largest building after school is the canteen, more like a huge living room, where students, teachers and often visiting parents meet at the tables. Holidays, birthdays are celebrated here, and at the same time they learn the basics of etiquette (knife-fork, thank you, please).
Boarding school – five meals a day. Rarely is it impossible. Eight servings of salad, three second, and a little bit of soup – this will not surprise anyone. Fruits and fresh vegetables – all year round and without restrictions. Much of the food is supplied by the family farm, where a contract with the boarding school stipulates a ban on the use of harmful chemical fertilizers. Probably, this is why allergies – the scourge of today’s pediatrics – practically do not occur among the pupils of Dubravushka.
Again, an involuntary analogy with the English public school arises when you find out that the guys spend their summer holidays in a private college in the English seaside town of Broadsteaz (Kent). Resting? Of course! But they do not forget the difficulties of English grammar, constantly communicating with hospitable hosts. Having returned from England, they continue to travel along the Central Russian strip – excursions, hikes.
But in an atmosphere of universal tolerance, freedom and encouragement of individualism, there are still categorical prohibitions. Modern statistics show that about 30% of students in Russian schools use drugs. The Dubravushka administration has taken an extremely tough stance on this issue. That is why this problem does not exist in the boarding school “Dubravushka”:
24-hour adult control (almost every pupil is under the supervision of an educator!)
The territory is guarded around the clock and the appearance of outsiders is completely excluded.
The general mood of the school, where there are neither yard authorities nor basement romance, does not accept the very idea of the opportunity to “try something”.
They speak frankly, without sanctimonious delicacy, about the horror and senselessness of drug addiction.
Understanding the full responsibility of the boarding school to parents and the serious problem of drug addiction in the country, the Dubravushka boarding school put a reliable barrier to any possibility of drug penetration into the school. This can be 100% confirmed by a trained dog constantly working on the territory of the school, which is able to find even an insignificant amount of any narcotic substance.
In addition, we acquaint parents who enter into an agreement with us with the rules, which unambiguously stipulate the prohibition of smoking, alcoholic beverages, and drugs. Violation of these rules automatically leads to expulsion from the boarding school.
… Date of official registration of the school – October 19, 1989. The birthday is symbolic for , the first Russian private boarding school , where, as once in the Tsarskoye Selo Lyceum, the future Russian elite is educated.
At the boarding school everyone is provided with equal rules of the game. The children develop independence, a sense of self-sufficiency and the ability to organize their time without regard to their parents. With such qualities, it is much easier to step not only into the university audience, but also into a big complicated life.

About the sports school
The history of the development of the Izhora school
About the place where the school is located:
The patches, in turn, were divided into graveyards. In the Nikolsko-Izhora and Spaso-Gorodets churchyards, the natives were the Vod, the Izhora, the whole, and the exiled Swedes and Latvians also lived. The main occupation of the population was agriculture – the cultivation of rye, oats, barley, flax. Animal husbandry, hunting and fishing also played a significant role in the economy. In the census book of the Vodskaya Pyatina of the 15th century, the “Row on the Izher River” is mentioned, where there was a commercial and industrial base of the Novgorodians. The center of the Nikolsko-Izhora churchyard was a village in the bend of Izhora (the area of modern Yam-Izhora). There was a wooden St. Nicholas Church and a large courtyard of Ivan Ivanovich Temkin-Rostovsky.
By the Decree of Peter the Great of July 10, 1707, Yamburg and Koporye with all the counties, land and Izhora manor were granted to Prince Menshikov in hereditary possession. Around 1710, Menshikov built a dam across the Izhora River for his household needs under the supervision of the master Jan Kintler and a water-acting sawmill on it. Since 1711, the sawmill began to serve “for the needs of the Admiralty for shipbuilding. ” At the beginning of 1719, copper and wire water-working plants were set up at the Izhora sawmill.
On May 22, 1719, by decree of Peter the Great, sawmills were built on this site. The construction of the anchor and copper factories began in 1753. In 1762 they were moved to the right bank of the river. Izhora. Gradually, a metalworking plant won its place on Izhora, which in the following centuries was destined to become one of the largest in Russia. The factories, which were in the maritime department, were recruited as the work progressed. Recruits, having entered the factory, got married and settled on the factory land. Their children were listed as cantonists and, after training at the factory school, they entered the ranks of workers. The workers, retiring due to seniority, remained forever in Kolpino, and those capable of work served at the factory for free employment. In 1785, there were already 87 households in the settlement. The Izhora River divided Kolpino into two parts. On the right bank was Kolpino-Nikolskaya Sloboda, which was a wide long street lined with houses with hipped roofs. Factory foremen and apprentices lived there. Near the dam is Nikolskaya Sloboda. Her houses were crowded along the road to Petersburg. There were taverns, drinking establishments, taverns, storehouses and inns. On the left bank of the flood of the Izhora River, the Chukhonskaya Sloboda was located, where mainly working people and exiled artisans lived, who were used in the most difficult work. Away from the spill, also on the left bank, Novaya Sloboda began to be built.
In 1897, on the initiative of the head of the factories, a free library was opened (four years later it already had about two thousand books). In the same year, a theater was built opposite the factories, where drama and opera performances were given in the summer. Until 1878, the village of Kolpino was administered by the head of the Admiralty Izhora Plants, then transferred to a civilian department and turned into a pasade of the Tsarskoye Selo district, since 1912 – a city.
As the number of workers in the factories increased, it became necessary to build a day school for the children of workers and clerks.
The building of the Izhora school (the former school of the Admiralty Izhora Plants) was built according to the project of engineer A.A. Vincent in 1895-1901 in red brick on the bank of the Izhora pond. Kolpintsy of the older generation call it the “Red School”. The school opened in 1901 and was designed for 150 boys and 50 girls. The school had good educational equipment for teaching biology, chemistry, physics, geography, and a large library. Talented teachers worked at the school: A. Chernyaev, V Georgievsky, A., Laptev, G. Evdokimov. The school has preserved this good tradition to this day. Honored coaches of Russia, talented coaches of the highest and first categories work in the Izhora school. From 19For 92 years, the school has produced more than 30 Masters of Sports, 7 Masters of Sports of international class, participants in the Olympic Games.
It is interesting that after the revolution the building did not change its purpose and remained a school. During the Great Patriotic War, Kolpino was constantly bombed, but the “Red School” miraculously survived. Until now, the hand of the restorer has not touched it. She worked after the war. In the 80s of the last century, the secondary school moved to a new building. And on st. Volodarskogo 2 again hosted an educational institution – a sports school of the Olympic reserve in rowing!
About the development of the school:
The Izhora sports school was founded in 1949 in the Kolpinsky district. The sports that students were doing at that time were skiing, athletics, boxing, wrestling.
The first director of the sports school was Pliner Vladimir Romanovich and in the 70s the students of the school already achieved high sports results in All-Union and city competitions.
A significant contribution to the training of high-level athletes at that time was made by coaches D. A. Tarasov, Yu.K. Lavrentiev, G.I. Maksimov, Yu.S. Shelukhin, V.N. Bykova.
In the 70s, the school was headed by director Iosif Moiseevich Los , who appreciated the convenient location of the school, the proximity of the building to the waters of the Izhora River and turned to the higher authorities about the advisability of opening a kayaking and canoeing department at this school. His initiative was supported, and in September 1978, a kayaking and canoeing department was opened at the school. This event predetermined the sports orientation of the school for many decades to come.
At this time, kayaking and canoeing coaches from the sports society “Dynamo” were invited to the school: master of sports of international class Vyacheslav Sergeevich Portnov , Master of Sports of the USSR Leonid Petrovich Medvedev , Master of Sports of the USSR Gennady Tikhonovich Grishin and International Master of Sports Galina Sergeevna Stepanova .
In 1981, Valentin Nikolaevich Orlov , international master of sports in kayaking and canoeing, winner of the USSR championships and all-Union and international competitions, was appointed director of the school. Valentin Nikolayevich began to actively develop the department, invested a lot of effort, soul and time, and literally in five years of work under his leadership, the school prepared a number of winners and prize-winners of the USSR championships, participants in the European championship and international regattas.
In 1986, Valentin Nikolaevich Orlov was invited to work in the Sports Committee of the city of Leningrad and the head of the school was appointed. Olympic Reserve schools.
As you know, the school has this high status to this day.
Kolpino sports school “Izhora” is famous and proud of its athletes and graduates.
Over the entire history of the school, more than 50 masters of sports of the USSR and Russia, 7 masters of sports of Russia of international class, 3 athletes of the school in 2018 became world champions in kayaking and canoeing, 2 of them fulfilled the requirements for conferring the honorary sports title – Honored master of sports of Russia.

European champion held master classes for athletes in Blagoveshchensk — Amurskaya Pravda
Society Free Vlad and Zakhar. “It’s great here, everyone explains and shows everything very well.” The guys, along with another hundred Amur schoolchildren, became participants in the SIBUR School of Basketball project and the Chemistry of the Team sports and recreation shift from the Vega Center for Identifying and Supporting Gifted Children. In the gym of the Blagoveshchensk Polytechnic College, the masters of sports of Russia and the European champions held training sessions, as a result of which the 6 best basketball players will go to the SIBURCAMP summer camp in the Nizhny Novgorod region. The secrets of the popular sport were also learned by the journalists of Amurskaya Pravda.

In the gymnasium of the Blagoveshchensk Polytechnic College, basketballs are banging and children’s cries are heard. Today, not future geologists and miners work here, but rising basketball stars. Boys and girls run around the playground and get to know each other. Everyone gathered for one thing – orange balls and invaluable experience.

– What are we doing here? Oh, yes, we have the “School of Basketball” here, and for the sixth time already, – the champion of Europe-2007, the silver medalist of the World Championship at 1998, four-time Russian champion Nikita Morgunov. — It is being implemented in many cities as part of the “Formula of Good Deeds” social investment program by SIBUR.
The objective of the event is to select the best athletes of the region to participate in the summer session of the SIBURCAMP camp in the Nizhny Novgorod region. In 2022, the organizers of the School of Basketball, in addition to geography, expanded the list of participants. In previous years, only boys could fight for the right to attend a 20-day shift, now girls have such an opportunity. Moreover, the panel of judges will choose only two candidates in each age group.

Meanwhile, the qualifying round begins. For two and a half hours, eight applicants will have to show their best qualities. The session starts with a warm-up. Running, jumping, passing the ball – all this is included in the program of the first stage of the review. Coaches closely monitor every movement of the school participants and make notes on the tablets.
To be among the lucky ones and get a ticket to the camp, you need to prove yourself as a hardy, agile and fast athlete who will navigate the playground even in the most difficult situation. Moreover, as the coaches say, it is not at all necessary to play basketball at the highest level.
In addition to short breaks, there are stations in the program where you don’t have to run fast, but, for example, juggle.
For example, at the station “Five Rays” the organizers arrange cones, which the guys need to touch at the curator’s signal. It would seem – nothing complicated. But still, it is important to run from one object to another in a protective stance. The boys think this is a fun task – they do it with a smile. And the trainer draws crosses and dashes in his tablet, at the same time pointing out the mistakes that the participants inadvertently make.

In the neighborhood, another group passes the Zmeyka station: children dribble from one end of the hall to the very ring on the opposite side, winding from cone to cone. Then throw and return to the starting position along the same route. At this station, teachers note not so much speed as the ability to control their body. If you run on the right side, then the ball must be dribbled with the right hand, if on the left, then with the left. We must not forget about the defensive stance: this is perhaps the main law of basketball.

– This is required to make it easier to dodge the enemy, – Nikita Leonidovich comments. – It is clear that these guys have recently started playing basketball and can still get confused in terms. This is exactly what a curator is needed for, who will stop the task and explain how to do it correctly. When an athlete does not change hands while dribbling, we call him a “one-armed bandit”. That is, he is not ambidexter – he does not have both hands developed at the same time. This is a small but fixable minus.
Coaches are confident that sports play has a positive effect on the overall development of the child. Due to the fact that the right-hander begins to develop the left hand, the second hemisphere of the brain is activated.
In basketball, both hands are important to be able to hide the ball from the opponent in case of threat. Just at this time, a good example is tucked up. The young man runs the whole distance, driving the ball only with his right hand, and the throw is made with his right hand. The coaches of the SIBUR School of Basketball are sure that a sports game has a positive effect on the all-round development of a child. Due to the fact that the right-hander begins to develop the left hand, the second hemisphere of the brain is activated.

Most basketball players studied well at school, almost each of them, in addition to sports, has a hobby. Someone plays musical instruments, someone collects car models, and someone is engaged in science. Where basketball will take them, time will tell, but for now they continue to compete for tickets to the summer camp.
Circus training
During the session, children not only undergo intensive training at 16 stations, watch master classes from eminent athletes, but also have time to relax. In addition to short-term breaks, there are stations in the program where you don’t need to run fast, but, for example, juggle. Many associate jugglers with the circus, but it turns out that basketball players also have such skills. With the help of balls or other small objects, athletes train coordination of movement, manual dexterity and practice ball handling skills.

– Basketball is a good, energetic sport that develops manual dexterity. The third year has already begun, as I play it, – shares a fourth-grade student Matvey Bystrov from Blagoveshchensk. – I wanted to go in for sports in the first grade. I signed up for the basketball section, now I train, I really like it. I came here to have professionals show you how to dribble correctly, teach you how to react faster and suggest how to develop endurance and speed. I am sure that basketball will help me become more energetic, more resilient and give me many friends. And I’m not looking for medals.
In the final, the athletes played short basketball games, and after that they received diplomas and memorable gifts. The next day, the eminent guests of Blagoveshchensk held an educational module with physical education teachers and trainers from the region.
