The central venues were the stadium of the Lyceum PVFP Air Force and the sports fields of the DYSCH, where teams of schoolchildren aged 7 to 12 years old from various settlements in the Tulchyn district gathered.

For the children, they organized:

  • football training sessions and mini-tournaments;
  • interactive relay races and team competitions;
  • exercises for coordination and physical fitness;
  • training blocks on safety and civil defense;
  • meetings with representatives of the State Emergency Service, police, and military.

All children could participate regardless of their level of preparation or gaming experience. Later, the project continued in the format of youth football hubs with tournaments, sports quizzes, and visits to amateur and professional team matches.
