Balcia Insurance agrees with the Latvian Basketball Union and ORTO Clinic on a joint contribution to the future of Latvian youth!
Balcia Insurance SE (Balcia), the Latvian Basketball Union (LBS) and ORTO Clinic (Orto) are committed to providing experience and financial input to Latvia’s new sports talent.
“Healthy and physically developed young people are the future of Latvia! Hobbies or a vision for the future of professional sports are the motivation of almost every child to try one of the sports. Therefore, talents noticed and developed in childhood are of value in professional development. In a team of outstanding professionals, we created the most suitable insurance for future athletes in Latvia – “Junior Insurance”. Just like the appropriate equipment, Junior Insurance is an integral part of sports, which gives peace of mind to parents, coaches and young people themselves in training, competitions and everyday life, ”said Jānis Lucaus, Chairman of the Board of Balcia Insurance.
“It is important to help youth basketball with real work in difficult times. Thanks to Balcia Insurance, whose support will help the youngest basketball players get to know our great game in the safest way possible. Together with Balcia there are additional opportunities to organize an interesting and educational event for future champions. The initiative of Balcia Insurance to develop a special insurance offer for young athletes in cooperation with LBS and ORTO is particularly welcome. I am convinced that it will become a daily routine for all young athletes. ”Emphasizes Raimonds Vējonis, President of the Latvian Basketball Union.
“Achievements in professional sports are unimaginable without proper preparation. In turn, the retention and development achieved is not imagined without good health. That is why it is important to take the first step in sports properly. ORTO is also pleased to contribute to educating young people and their coaches about the best possible preparation before setting new, personal records. Youth sports are primarily about healthy physical fitness and only then do excellent, long-term results follow. Insurance is an essential part of sports equipment, as sports without injuries are unthinkable, but educated coaches and young people are an essential precondition for reducing their numbers. ” explains ORTO Clinic Sports Diagnostic Specialist Jēkabs Grīnbergs.
“Junior insurance” is an insurance designed for professionals and parents for young athletes, based on the experience of parents, coaches, sports doctors and physiotherapists in cooperation with the Latvian Basketball Union and ORTO Clinic. Junior insurance provides financial protection all over the world, when children participate in trainings, competitions, sports camps, as well as in their daily activities. Insurance policies have high insurance limits for various risks, which are evaluated with the participation of our invited team of professionals – parents, ORTO clinic specialists, LBS representatives, athletes and coaches. Junior Accident Insurance can be purchased online at www.balcia.lv or from Balcia partners.
The Latvian Youth Basketball League is the largest youth competition in the country. Every year, teams of about 400 girls and boys in 14 groups fight for the titles of Latvian youth champions. The youngest ones are given the opportunity to get to know basketball by organizing the “Mini Cup” and the “NBA Junior League”, as well as competitions for first-graders “First Steps in Basketball.”
