Athletic Club "Novi Grad"

Athletic Club Novi Grad Sarajevo was established in 2015. The idea for the formation and launch of this Club came after the Municipal activities to build a new athletics track and other sports-recreational and educational facilities on the site of the Municipality of Novi Grad Sarajevo, within the military barracks Safet Zajko, now the Center for Education, Sports and Recreation. Guided by the fact that an athletic club without athletic tracks is almost impossible, and how the functionality of athletic tracks without an athletic club is almost impossible, we united these two segments and formed the Athletic Club Novi Grad Sarajevo. The Club of the same name aims to provide its customers with quality and professional athletic activities. Our goal from the very beginning was to apply a new concept of work which would differ us from all the other athletic clubs in the area, and which would hence, help us promote our Club and athletics better. One of the activities of the Club is, first of all, to gather children who have physical predispositions and will to achieve the best possible sports results in appropriate athletic disciplines through systematic exercise. The Club also has the task of positively influencing the educational, cultural and sports development of all its members, especially the younger ones, through ethical and humane activities. To ensure that every trainee can achieve his or her place in this project, we had to come up with multiple offers which would meet the needs of those looking to be our trainee and the needs of any type of trainee available on the sports market. So our offers include the following: • Athletic school • Athletic training • Athletic fitness • Athletic conditional training and • Athletic conditional training for children The offers that we have for our users as a possibility for everyone to find their own place in athleticsand with which want to gain as many different users as possible, are based on an idea that each offerpresents its benefits for the user in all of his or hers training segments. The first offer is the Athletic school which is intended for children aged 4 to 12 years. Here we have a goal of gaining interest amongst children, but also their parents, who have a crucialrole in deciding which sports their child will choose. We presented this offer as a mean to advance the pedagogic-social aspects, physical characteristics, motor-functional capabilitiesand all the other anthropological dimensions of the child. Here we emphasize how the maingoal of the athletic school is to effect the child in the sensitive phase using basics of athleticsso that the child can use up his or hers full motoric-functional potential. We explain to them that the sensitive phases of the childs developmental period is convenient for the developmentof certain capabilities, characteristics and motoric knowledge via training. And that the sports personnel is convinced, that the child cannot achieve his or hers full genetic potential if there is no training during these phases. Our message to the parents is that by introducing the child to the athletics school they give them an opportunity for a good start in sports with which the child can develop solid basics, on which further development of any motion can be upgraded. Our second offer is the Athletic training which aims towards children and youth aged 12 up until they can continue with athletics in a professional and competitive way. With this offer we represent athletics as one of the basic sports which in a very planned manner effects the development of a person both in the physical and psychological field. Here we emphasize that under the term physical, we consider the athletic training to enhance all motoric capabilitiessuch as speed, strength, endurance and all the other elements needed for a good physical balance. In the psychological segment the training enhances the limit of psychological exhaustion, patience, consistency, faith in ones self, and all the other inner characteristics thatan athletic has to have in order to go through all the hardship in the training or competitive field, but also in all the other life′s situations where a strong and consistent person is preferred. We send a message to the young potential users that we call athletics the queen of sports because of its comprehensiveness, and it truly is the queen! By presenting the effects of the athletic training, we conclude the following: “to train in athletics means to advance ones self both mentally and physically, with this we will have great benefit now and in the far future”. This message is intended to motive the youth to endure in the athletics training if they want to work on their selves and achieve all their full potentials. The third offer is the Athletic fitness which aims at the older population, all of those who want to advance themselves both physically and mentally through recreation. Here we emphasize the fact that an athletic training effects the whole anthropological system of the trainee, and that we made this offer as a new way of recreational training, with which a trainee can gain his goals. Athletic fitness is presented as a program which uses its training technology in the same way a training technology is used for a professional athlete. The annual card of the Athletic fitness is not the same as the annual card of an professional athlete, considering the goals. The professional athlete has a main goal of achieving top form for the main competition and achieving the best result, whilst the recreational athlete has a main goal to enhance his anthropologic state with all of its sectors, including, anthropometric characteristics, motoric capabilities, and everything else that constitutes a healthy and good looking individual. The message for the potential users of this offer is this: ”if you haven′t find a recreational training that suits you so far, in fulfilling all your physical and psychological needs, and in gaining the athletic constitution, this is your chance to try out something new,something you never had a chance to try out before”. The fourth offer is the Athletic conditional training which is meant for the professional sportsmen in other sports areas, who have a goal to enhance their conditional capabilities, and therefore becoming more efficient in their basic sport. This offer is presented as an offer that is based on the training technology used to enhance conditional capabilities using all the athletic means otherwise used for enhancing conditional capabilities. The athletic training is presented in a manner already known for its elements with working with weights (all methods and techniques), jumps (plyometry, ballistics), endurance training, flexibility, coordination and many other combination methods carefully planned out. The athletic training is presented as a training with which one gaines better performance, a way to save each hundredth of a second (fast running and sprint) or to gain each millimeter (jumps and throws). The message of this offer is this: “It is impossible nowadays, in the world of professional sport to succeed without good condition, so if you want to succeed in your sport, enhance your conditional capabilities in an athletic manner and become faster, stronger and more durable, in one words – become more efficient” The fifth offer is Athletic conditional training for children which is meant for children aged 6 to 14 years of age and who are already involved in another sports training and who need additional trainings in order to enhance their running, posture, basic somatic strengthening, enhancement of coordination and other anthropologic dimensions. This offer is presented as an offer whose purpose is to enrich the child with basic movements during his or hers sports initiation, which will be a good foundation for further upgrading of other specific movements. This is presented as a very important period in the process of building and designing the sport figure because it is possible to effect, in this specific period of the child′s development, the efficacy and motoric intelligence from which the child could prosper in the future, if it is fully enhanced. The parents are educated that the child needs to know how to properly run first in order to run with a ball. To securely and effectively change course, he or she needs to know how to properly run, in order to run fast, to train and play fast without fear of injury a balance in all his capabilities is needed. In order to become supreme good foundations are needed which will allow for a successful and safe professional sporting career. The main message ofthis offer is this: ′If you want your child to use and enhance his or her talent in any sport, you first need to provide him with the basics before the specifis′ With these offers we covered the most types of trainees and training categories, and will hopefully increase the frequency of our users and popularize athletics as a multifunctional activity that can be used by anyone. Since all successful companies and sports clubs have their own brand, a brand which everyone is proud to be a part of or to have, we decided to give the project “Athletics – for all generations and variations” its very own brand, a brand that every user would gladly identify with. Looking for a brand with which to promote all the activities, analyzing all of our aforementioned offers, we came to the conclusion that the sole goal of each category is to make every user a better trained person, that is, to make them an athlete – what all of them want to be and to look like. Athletics is a primary sport from which the athletic type arose, a type that is well accepted amongst everyone, and we decided that our brand would be just that – ATLETA (meaning athlete in translation) The brand of this project, of our club is: "ATLETA" In order to fulfill our services, and to give motive to our users to train the best they can, and to attract even more people into our Club - we came up with three competitive programs. Three competitive programs "Quickie" Kids athletics League“ is a competitive program for kids aged five to twelve, the exact age category for the training program - Athletic school. It is a unique sports project in the region which aims in attracting kids and offering them fun through six modified athletic competitions while testing their capabilities. In this way they can find out and show all their individual potential. The correlation between fun/competition and testing/detection is the thing that makes this project unique from all the other similar projects. Besides gathering children, representing them with the quality of athletics, we put them through a system of competition where they gain scores and compete with their age group in different categories, with the final goal of testing each and every kid, calculating and analyzing the results and giving out objective and scientific opinion on their athletic potential. We assume that with this, an objective opinion can be given out for the future athletic direction, but also in general, sports direction. With this opinion the childrens full antropological status can be redirected towards maximizing the potential that they may have. This is a project for all the children, not just the ones that want to go into athletics, or intend to take up athletics later on. For all the kids that like other sports and that want to gain insight into their capabilities and that maybe don't even train anywhere and are not aware of their talent. The project offers the possibility to even detect, through measuring and testing, eventual antropologic/motoric/functional "anomalies" and to act in time with adequate programs for their decrease or removal. The goal of this project is to gather a large number of children, their parents, sponsors and to become more popular.

Become an Athlete is a project held during the period of March, April and May with six competitions in total. It aims to gather youth aged 13 and up, students of primary and high schools, beginners and professionals, from other sports disciplines and those who never had with athletics. It provides them a system of competition in which they have the opportunity to win in their category and discipline and to become athletes. Each winner in each category gains the title Athlete. This project is also an opportunity for experienced and professional athletes to start putting themselves into shape, in the early season right after the winter, while giving the opportunity for beginners to try out competing and utilizing the opportunity to enhance their athletic knowledge and skills with experienced and professional athletes. This project offers the opportunity for youth from other sports disciplines to come out to compete without any prior application or announcement. They just come and try out one of the athletic disciplines. The goal of this project is to gather around as much of the youth who are active in athletics, those who are not, to try and find out potential talents and to direct them into becoming professional athletes.

It is a project which aims to gather recreational runners, to give them a system of competition, motivating them to train the whole year round, to take their mind off the everyday responsibilities, and to build a running community in which everyone can enjoy and in which they can upgrade themselves. The league is made up in two phases, the first phase is held in the months of September, October and November, and the second phase is in the months of April, May and June. Each phase has six stages and each stage is another athletic discipline. During the stages they gather scores and in the final a winner is announced in each category.
