The first open handball championship of the Sakhalin region started on November 17 at the Vostok training center. 10 teams from Vladivostok, the regional center and its suburbs – Novoaleksandrovsk, Lugovoy, Dalniy, the villages of Bereznyaki and Troitsky – are taking part in it, the regional Ministry of Sports reported.
Handball players compete in two age categories – under 12 and under 14 years old. The competition will also include friendly matches between girls’ teams and master classes from Olympic champion, General Director of the Russian Handball Federation Lev Voronin. According to him, in Sakhalin it was possible to create a handball federation in a short time and organize the first tournament, which not every region is capable of.
“Sakhalin guys are very athletic, physically strong, so they have a great future in sports. We, in turn, are ready to help them,” he noted.
Based on the results of the championship, national teams of the Sakhalin region will be formed. Next year they will represent the island region at all-Russian competitions.
