With baseball on the way: the finalists of the Autumn cup CASE-IN presented the project "Play for 5"

As part of the Final of the Autumn Cup of the International Engineering CASE-IN Championship, an educational project dedicated to baseball was held - a lecture hall on the "Play for 5" project. 

"Baseball-5 belongs to the Olympic sports and will be presented at the Youth Olympics in Dakar in 2026. We are developing Baseball-5 on the sites of our projects and plan to involve as many schoolchildren and students as possible in it.- said the director of the Reliable Change Foundation, founder and co-chairman of the International Engineering Championship CASE-IN Artem Korolev, - This dynamic game retains all the excitement of classic baseball, but it does not require expensive equipment and special playgrounds. That is why Baseball-5 is particularly well suited for mass sports and youth environment."

As part of the CASE-IN, Andrei Lobanov, the bronze medalist of the European Baseball Championship-5, presented this team sport to the mentors of the Student League teams, focusing on its accessibility and development prospects. 

The project "Play for 5" is the winner of the grant competition "Sport for All" from the Potanin Foundation. The project, organized by the Reliable Change Foundation, is aimed at popularizing baseball-5 at universities, motivating students to promote health and lead a healthy lifestyle.

Andrey Lobanov emphasized the importance of the project for young people: "Today's students are full of energy, ready for new challenges and open to experimentation. The only question is what universities can offer to channel this energy into a healthy channel. And our project is the answer to this challenge."

"In the classroom, students will be able to strengthen their physical fitness, develop coordination, tactical thinking and teamwork skills," the speaker listed the advantages of the project. "For universities, it is a tool for mass involvement in sports, contributing to a healthy lifestyle of students and increasing the prestige of an educational institution as modern and progressive." 

Representatives of specialized universities were invited to join the project and open baseball-5 sections within their walls. Andrey Lobanov assured that the fund will provide full support at all stages: trains trainers, provides starting equipment, provides information support to attract students, and organizes advanced training courses for teachers.
