Well done for holding such tournaments. Here in Poltava, boys from the church community also play basketball on Saturdays, it is good for health. And how many teams competed this time?

Людмила Мельник

It's good that Poltava also does this, basketball on Saturdays is both movement and communication. This time we had 8 teams, they played quite lively. And how many boys in your community usually go to the playground?

Богдан Коваленко

It's good that you also play regularly on Saturdays in Poltava. We had 8 teams this time, it was really lively. And how many of your guys usually go out on the court?

Юлія Шевченко

On Saturdays, we usually have 12-15 guys, sometimes more, if there is no holiday. Tell me, which parishes did you have teams from? We have mostly ours, from Poltava, and a couple of times they came from Kremenchuk.

Світлана Мороз

Yes, tournaments are really useful, especially when they combine sports and community. On Saturdays, 10-12 guys from the parish usually gather at our place, we play without fanaticism, but with pleasure. Do you play yourself or just cheer?

Олег Мельник

Yes, the combination of sports and the parish is a good thing, the guys want to move, and not just stand at the service. Here in Odesa, after the liturgy, we also sometimes run the ball, albeit irregularly. And you always have the same 10-12 guys, or do new ones join?

Олександр Коваль

Here in Poltava, after the liturgy, 6-8 boys also often gather on the site near the church. We don't play as lively as you do, but we enjoy it. And in which church do you organize these Saturday games?
