– Arthur, what do you think has led to the victory of your team? – We asked in 2025. Championship winners coach.

– It’s a long process. Most of my students have already played in the championship last year and played very well/ It is said that we have been traveling towards the goal for 2 years.

– Kaunas teams looked very strong too, but the title remains in Vilnius – how did the championship basketball players succeed?

– Kaunas residents – cool people, are great preparation for children, and every year there is great competition. However, Kaunas residents are always a little harder for Kaunas residents (smiles).

Visiting a training with freshmen also contributed strongly to the title. Workouts have brought many benefits over the years. The Open SKM VITRON KIDS Championship, where 5 of my kindergartens played with freshmen and gained a lot of play experience during the season, also contributed to the good game.

– What do you think every kindergarten and their dad can take out events like this?

– Parents should only bring positive emotions with their children. In such an event, the victories should remain in the background. For most children, this is the first serious match and the parents’ reaction and the event itself may depend on whether the child will continue in basketball.

If the coach is in a bad mood, it will respond negatively to the inferior game and the parents will be sad after every worse episode, it will work negatively, he will no longer want such emotions and may not see it with the ball in the future. If everything works, we only pass on positive emotions, the child will hook and stay with basketball for a long time.

Children learn to compete and try to experience good emotions, parents to support children and respond appropriately to coach decisions and judge whistles, young judges are learning, as well as coaches and organizers. We all take something.
