Chornomorska Sitch to hold 36th annual Sports School

NEWARK, N.J. - The 36th consecutive annual summer Sports School of Chornomorska Sitch, which traditionally has been held at the Verkhovyna resort in Glen Spey, N.Y., is scheduled there also this year, for a period of three weeks between July 24 and August 14.

Training will cover five sports: soccer, volleyball, swimming, tennis and, for the first time, basketball. It will be conducted by outstanding professional instructors, including two from Europe - a volleyball instructor from Germany and a swimming and basketball instructor from Lutsk, Ukraine.

The Sports School accepts boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 18. Also participating in the training will be Sitch coaches - Andrew Panas, Greg Serheev and Roman Holowinsky in soccer, Larissa Lukiw and Danylo Levytsky in tennis - as well as other outstanding athletes.

As in previous years, the Sports School is supported by a federal program, thanks to which needy children can obtain their meals at a reduced rate. The Sitch Sports School has earned high marks from American sports trainers, who have been known to come to the school with their students for a one-week stay, during which they observed and recorded training methods that they would then introduce in their own sports camps.

The Chornomorska Sitch Sports School is proud of its graduates, many of whom have excelled in various sports in different cities of the U.S. and Canada. Among them are the aforementioned Sitch instructors, Messrs. Panas, Serheev and Holowinsky, who have been leading soccer players for many years.

Applications for the 2005 Sitch Sports School may be obtained by writing to: Ukrainian Sitch Sports School, 680 Sanford Ave., Newark, NJ 07106.
