Thanks to the persistent work of the territorial community head Oleksandr Kovynka and people who care about the development of football specifically, a comprehensive children's and youth sports school has been established in the community, headed by a young ambitious director, Vitaliy Matviienko, where currently only a football department is operating.

Considering this, the search and development project for talents by the UAF within the FIFA TDS framework was very beneficial both for the children from the community itself and for the coaches of the newly established KDJSS in terms of identifying the most football-minded kids among 144 tested.

Children from educational institutions across almost the entire territorial community were involved in the testing, namely:

— Voronovitsky lyceum;

— Trostyanetsky lyceum;

— Mykhailivsky lyceum;

— Olenivsky lyceum with a pre-school division;

— Komarivska branch of KZ – Stepanivsky lyceum with a pre-school division;

— Poberezhnyanska branch of K3 –  Stepanivsky lyceum with a pre-school division.

During the testing, coaches from the sports school already identified children who immediately received invitations to join the school.

In May, four more events are planned in Vinnytsia region. So, onwards and upwards.
