Bahcelievler Youth and Sports District Sports Director Bülent Küçük pointed out that sports are always important and said that they do not fit them into a single week, but carry out activities throughout the year. Bülent Küçük said, “We did different activities for 1 week, such as football, darts, archery, air pistol shooting. We did not do these different activities only in our facilities, we went down to parks and squares. The aim is to spread sports to the grassroots. In this context, he evaluated it with full activities for a week. Today We wanted to introduce our children as a mix of celebrities. We will finish with the basketball game. Our Minister is also very sensitive to this issue. He supports the Amateur Sports Clubs to the end. Of course, our President also had good news for the athletes. Our senior athletes were given 100% scholarship in education. This is a great deal for our children. It was a support,” he said.
BANU KARADAĞLI: WE NEED TO SUPPORT OUR CHILDREN
Expressing that they also started basketball as amateurs, Banu Karadağlı said, “We want them to be supported. We all started at a young age and played basketball for 35 years, I guess. That’s why we need to support our children so that they can participate in European championships and Olympics. I want physical education lessons in schools to be given great importance. “I am a physical education teacher at the same time. We meet our children in the 4th grade. But abroad it is not like that. Since they start as of kindergarten, we discover it too late as we start from the 4th grade,” he said.
“I AM MORE EXCITED THAN ANYONE”
Expressing that she is the only 49-year-old active basketball player in the world at the moment, Banu Karadağlı said, “I was very happy when the organization came to me. Because most of my former teammates, my rivals, my elders. I started by looking at them and taking their stances as an example. I am very excited,” he said.
DIDEM AKIN: I THINK TEAM SPORTS WILL BE VERY USEFUL FOR THEM IN THE FUTURE
Didem Akın, on the other hand, stated that it was a special week and said, “The fact that the little children are waiting for us here excitedly and the information we will teach them is also exciting for us. We meet the old basketball players here and we have good times. Team sports are always very important. I think team sports will be very beneficial for them in the future. Families should not insist on school, sports should go together with education. Sports should be in our lives, especially for young children. Physical education teachers should be trained in schools. It is very important to be able to communicate with young children, “he said.
