4th LTT event in Nidzica, day by day.

Day 1.

4th LTT event, “Everyone can play – Rugby”, has just started. The first day was really eventful. It started with Rugby training. FITS participants from Poland, Bulgaria and Slovakia spent three hours getting to know the sport under the supervision of professional coaches from Warmińsko-Mazurski Okręgowy Związek Rugby and Rugby Team Olsztyn. Everyone learned a lot, but also had plenty of fun! While most of the students were training rugby, some of our FITS members practised another FITS sport – cheerleading. They were working on a choreography which will be presented during the Final Event on Friday. After the training, all the participants took part in The Amazing Race. In international teams they had to deal with series of various tasks all around the town, e.g. counting the steps leading to the castle or taking “selfies” wearing medieval costumes.

Day 2.

On 25th March our FITS students continued their rugby training with @Warmińsko-Mazurski Okręgowy Związek Rugby and @Rugby Team Olsztyn. The workshop was led by Przemysław Andrzejewski, Jarosław Kowalski, Michał Senkbeil and Henryk Pach. Today, apart from drills and techniques, they had a chance to play scrimmages in mixed teams. The cheerleading team also continued practising their cheer routine.In the afternoon all the participants gathered to watch a sports-themed movie about overcoming adversities. It was a nice, relaxing way to spend some time together.

3rd day of the mobility we spent in Warsaw getting to know history and culture of the Polish host. The visit started with a stroll around the Old Town, learning the history of the capital city and its most famous landmarks. Foreign guests could also taste typical Polish cuisine. Next we went to The National Stadium PGE Narodowy where we took part in a guided tour that included visiting the stands, locker rooms, physiotherapy suites and media rooms of this huge, impressive sports venue.

They played scrimmages, “10 passes”, “noughts and crosses” and “basketball rugby”. At the end, the winner of the tournament was the “Green Team”, comprised mostly of girls! The tournament MVP was Sára Záteková, who received an award from the coaches – a rugby ball!
