The day was divided for the different ages: the morning program is for kids; evening - for youth and teens. People from Irpin and nearby towns know and come here for the Week of Sport. Kids were learning to play volleyball, football, basketball, learnt dances of cheer-teams. They also tried to communicate with Americans practicing their English. Besides kids were listening Bible stories and did interesting crafts.
And every evening youth with sports wear came. Hundreds of them every day wanted to try their strength in different games. Even the whole teams came. They played all games mentioned above plus squash, badminton, ping-pong. The organizers also cared about those who didn't play any game. they could study English with Americans, to do crafts or just drink coffee in a cozy open air cafe reading the newspaper of Week of Sport.
After nearly three hours of competition the participants went to the auditorium for the Awarding Ceremony, lottery and - most interesting for them - meeting with famous athletes: Alina Gorobets (better Planet futzalistkoy 2009), Stephen Barrett (USA champion in freestyle wrestling), John Peterson (twice winner of Olympic Games), Riedel Arbelay Besserroy (tenfold champion of Ukraine in baseball) and others. Within five days of activities they told their story of victories and defeats, and their acquaintance with God.
Also after the program young people usually gathered in a room with big screen and watched broadcast of FIFA World Cup so all the guys could have cheered for their favorites.
On the last evening of the Week of Sports Bill Smith (coordinator of the American team) and Konstantin Goncharov (pastor of Irpin Bible Church) thank everyone for taking part in competitions and invited everyone to the church and in a Christian youth camp. biblechurch.com.ua materials
