RIAS MAGAZINE No 05 CHILDREN's FOOTBALL, RUSSIA Valeriy Rozenberg >> Continuation >> These are the two best teams of our city. We have held the third place in the team scoring for the last five years. When our players reach a certain level and there is a proposal from the Zenit Academy or Zenit-2, we give these players to a stronger structure for further development, I.e. to Zenit, which has unlimited possibilities and is 100 meters from our stadium. Some of our players play for Zenit-2, it's the players born in 1995. We, surely, have signed direct contracts with the club. There are players who trained in our school and now play for other Russian clubs. We have good results in beach football. Our students are members of the Russian national team. One of them, Kirill Romanov, is the world champion, winner of the Champions Cup in beach football. Some of the players who joined a professional team Kristall in St. Petersburg, also own the European Cup. So we have some results. Our student, who played at the club for three years, Evgeniy Kabaev, at the end of 2014 was listed among the top five scorers in Europe, although he played for the club from Estonia, maybe it is easier to score there, but he approved himself. Now he plays for the club in Indonesia. The geography of footballers who play for our club is big enough. Valeriy Rozenberg RIAS: Tell us about the components of a successful business process in children's sports academy. There can be no business process in children's sports academy, because the money that come to a school directly, go for salaries of coaches, purchase of equipment, partly on training camps because athletes have to go on them. The remaining visits to international and national competitions are covered by parents. The state can not support this, a budget is limited, so these costs are borne by parents. 26
