Programs & athletic initiatives

Four active programs run through the full season, September to July, with a summer camp bridging the break.

Youth Grassroots Sports Academy
01

Youth Grassroots Sports Academy

Structured athletics and team-sport training for children aged 6 to 19.

Three training sessions a week across four age groups, built on a long-term athlete development plan rather than early specialisation. Children start with running, jumping and throwing fundamentals, then branch into athletics, football or handball depending on aptitude and preference. Coaches keep written progress records shared with parents twice a season, and no athlete competes before the coaching staff considers them physically ready.

  • Ages 6–19
  • 3 sessions / week
  • Sept–July season
  • 30 scholarship places

Community Health & Active Living

Community Health & Active Living

Free outdoor fitness and health-literacy workshops for adults and seniors.

Open sessions every Saturday morning in the neighbourhood park, plus monthly workshops on nutrition, joint health and safe training after fifty. Volunteer nurses run blood-pressure and BMI screening four times a year and refer participants to family doctors where needed. No registration fee, no membership requirement — people simply show up.

  • Free entry
  • Weekly sessions
  • Nurse-led screening
  • 300+ regular participants

Adaptive Sports for Inclusion
03

Adaptive Sports for Inclusion

Wheelchair basketball and adapted athletics with two partner special schools.

Built with kinetotherapists and school staff so that every session has a one-to-one support ratio where required. Equipment — sport wheelchairs, adapted implements, tactile guides for visually impaired runners — is club-owned and free to use. Our aim is a normal weekly training routine, not an annual demonstration event, and adaptive athletes compete in mixed club fixtures wherever the format allows.

  • Ages 8–25
  • 2 sessions / week
  • Free equipment
  • 2 partner schools

Local & Regional Championship Hosting

Local & Regional Championship Hosting

Organising fixtures, county cups and the annual regional youth championship.

The club hosts or co-organises more than a dozen competition days each year, from small inter-school meets to the regional youth championship that brings around four hundred athletes to Cluj. Volunteers handle officiating, timing, medical cover and hospitality. Entry fees are kept at cost, and clubs from smaller localities receive travel support from our solidarity fund.

  • 12+ event days / year
  • Regional championship
  • Volunteer officials
  • Travel solidarity fund

Voices

Athlete stories & parent voices

“I joined at nine because my school had no track team. Ten years later I run for a university club and coach the Saturday beginners group here. This place gave me a routine when nothing else did.”

Tudor A., athlete and assistant coach

“My daughter uses a wheelchair. For years "sport" meant watching. Now she trains twice a week with the same intensity as anyone else, and the coaches expect things of her. That changed her.”

Carmen D., parent

“The fees are honest and nobody pretends every child will be a champion. What they promise is that your kid will be looked after, will be fitter, and will learn to lose properly.”

Sorin M., parent of two members
