About us
Our history
Our multi-sport school has been active since September 2008. Until it was officially registered, it operated as part of the “G5” Sports Club, with activities held in primary schools across the Municipality of Centar Sarajevo. More than 2,000 children aged 5 to 15 have taken part in the school’s activities. One of the benefits of this approach is that training takes place at the children’s own schools, so they can go straight from training to class, or from class to training. This way of organising activities has been welcomed by children and especially by their parents, who have shared many positive comments.
Champions Multi-Sport School
Our multi-sport school is designed for children aged 5 to 15 and welcomes children of all starting ability levels. Its main focus is their all-round development. Taking part in a range of sports at an early stage helps children build a broad set of movement skills and can provide a strong foundation for specialising in a sport later on. The programme gives children the opportunity to discover their potential, enjoy being active and meet their needs through a varied range of activities that support the development of their motor skills. Focusing on just one sport at this age can mean missing out on abilities developed through other sports.
About Champions Ski School
