With six further training sessions on 3, 5, 10, 15, 19 and 26 June, Olympiacos S.F.P. continued implementing STRIVE. The children’s regular participation in sporting activities provides a foundation for the next step: putting what they have learned into practice through play.
Preparing for a sporting event involves more than technical skills. It also includes understanding basic rules, rotating roles, communicating with teammates and respecting opponents. Where needed, fundamental exercises are revisited to ensure that all children can participate meaningfully.
Looking ahead is the final tournament in Athens, one of the events envisaged by the European project. Its purpose is not simply to celebrate winners, but to offer children the opportunity to experience cooperation, fair play and equality through sport.
STRIVE (Schools & Teqvolley for Respect, Inclusion, Vitality & Equality) is a European Erasmus+ Sport initiative implemented by S.S. Lazio Teqball ASD (Italy) and Olympiacos S.F.P. (Greece). Primarily targeting children aged 10–13, it seeks to improve equal access to sport, particularly for girls, children with disabilities and children from socially or economically disadvantaged backgrounds.
The STRIVE project is co-funded by the European Union under the Erasmus+ Sport programme, with the aim of promoting social inclusion, equal opportunities and children’s active participation in sport.
