You can enroll your child in a sports school until they reach the age of majority. The minimum age for different sports may vary — you can find this information when selecting a specific discipline in the application.
- General enrollment rules
- To enroll your child in a sports school, you need to submit an application. You can do this in two ways: in person by contacting the sports school, or online via the Gosuslugi (Government Services) portal.
- Once the application is reviewed, the sports school will invite your child to entrance tryouts. You must attend together with your child. Following the tryouts, a notification with recommendations and the result — either a refusal or confirmation of enrollment — will be sent to the applicant’s personal account.
- If your child is accepted, you will need to visit the sports school in person to complete the remaining paperwork.
- How to change an application
If the application was submitted via Gosuslugi, it cannot be edited or canceled. Also, while the application is under review, you cannot change the selected sports school or intake group. However, if you wish, you can submit a separate application to another sports school.
- Applying to multiple sports schools
You are allowed to apply to several sports schools at the same time. To do this, submit a separate application for each school.
In conclusion, the process of enrolling in a sports school is quite simple and convenient, especially when using the Gosuslugi online service. The key is to carefully follow the deadlines and the requirements of each school to ensure your child can pursue their favorite sport.
