The open youth basketball challenge held by the Kremenchuk Basketball Federation among those born in 2006-2007 for the last three months, starting Jan. 20 and ending Apr. 28, 2017, has just closed. This time-stretched contest brought together 6 teams, four from Kremenchuk,and two from Svitlovodsk, each team having both home and visit games.

It surely came as a good news that one of the two Svitlovodsk teams, called Svitlovodsk-1, has become the winner of the contest, while our other team claimed a bronze. Our sincere greetings to these young Svitlovodsk residents who were able to put up a good show and even return with some rankimg trophies.

And it was pleasant to hear from Mr. Volodymyr Lysak, the teams' coach, the young players' parents, and even from their own selves the words of gratitude to Korolivsky Smak and especially to Mr. Viktor Korol, General Director of the associated private company 'Viktor & K,' for their continuous and active support of the youth basketball arena in this city. Let us celebrate the victory of our young ball players and hope that this first major victory of theirs will pave the road to success in other events that are yet to come.
