According to the Head of the Department of Physical Education Tetiana Synytsia, such events were planned for all the first-year students: “From the first day of studying, we will involve students in sport clubs, because it is important to promote understanding of the importance of doing sports. Despite of the first-year students only having their second day of studying, they showed themselves as goal-oriented, initiative personalities.”
Four teams of university dormitories took part in the competitions in volleyball. The jury included experienced players and older students.
