On September 20, 2022 The International Day of Student Sports is celebrated

"OH, SPORT! YOU ARE LIFE!"

The famous Frenchman Pierre de Coubertin in his "Ode to Sport" compared sports with life, with eternal movement. Life has proved how right he is. In Belarus, the development of sports is one of the most important directions of state policy.

Physical education and sports occupy a large place in the system of student education, maintaining a healthy lifestyle by future specialists of the agro-industrial complex. The sports life of the leading agricultural educational establishment of the country - BSAA - is not only regular classes within the framework of the educational process. The teams and athletes of the academy are regular participants of the Spartakiads and championships, winners of various awards.

For example, over the past academic year, BSAA students have achieved high sports results. Among the universities of the Mogilev region they rank 2nd, among the universities of the agrarian sphere they are the 1st in the Republic of Belarus. In the last academic year, the academy's teams in powerlifting and arm wrestling, the football team became the prize winners of the Republican Universiade. Our teams in basketball, tennis, weightlifting, freestyle wrestling, judo, sambo and other sports successfully performed as well. These results were achieved due to the effective work of the department's employees in cooperation with the students’ trade union committee.

Coaches and teachers of the Department of Physical Education and Sports trained 2 Masters of Sports and 20 Candidates for Master of Sports. Following the results of the Republican Universiade held during last academic year, coaches - associate professor Valery Divakov, senior lecturer Evgeny Suvorov, teacher Aleksander Solyanikov were awarded Diplomas of the Belarusian Association of Student Sports.

The Academy pays great attention to the development of sports. The material and technical base is updated annually. In 2021, a mini-football pitch with artificial grass was built on the territory of the sports complex with the help of the Belarusian Football Federation. A lot of different sporting equipment were purchased.

The Rector's Office of the Belarusian State Agricultural Academy, the Department of Physical Education and Sports, the Sports Club of the Academy congratulate teachers and student-athletes, as well as everyone who creates sports glory to the oldest agricultural university in the country, on The International Day of Student Sports!
