In Poltava, our school No. 27 also actively participates in school sports, so maybe it would be worthwhile to join forces and submit several joint applications. And tell me, in your parish, what age are the boys mostly?

It's good that you already have football and volleyball in the parish, the ball is really passing. In our Odesa school No. 47, several boys from grades 7-9 also go to the competition, so we could exchange contacts. Tell me, which parish do you have in Lviv?
