“We all love soccer, but seeing the little ones, the excited children chasing after the soccer ball on the field is the most beautiful thing. I am especially glad that the camp has a wider, primarily educational dimension. During their stay at the camp, children go through various workshops and listen to useful lectures , they learn about the importance of fair play, and the basis of everything is their socializing, getting to know each other, connecting and having a good time”
These are the words of a long-time member of the national team and a celebrated soccer player, Dejan Stanković, who built his career in some of the most successful soccer teams, such as Lazio and Inter. Recognizing the importance of sports for child development, former player and coach of Crvena Zvezda started a summer camp called Deki 5 a couple of years ago, with the idea of bringing together young people and helping them experience soccer in the best possible way. Through socializing, playing and having fun, season to season, children have the opportunity to learn new things and meet their peers from all over the country.
Sports camps are popular all over the world, and recently more and more in our country. We are aware that, due to the enormous growth of the digital industry and the expansion of social media, children spend less time outdoors. For this very reason, in the camps the use of modern technologies, such as cell phones and computers, is reduced to a minimum and is allowed only during the room stay. Playing games is replaced by grass fields and a ball, and children spend much more time in direct contact and socializing. Morning exercise in the fresh air and a minimum of two training sessions a day are of great importance for the proper development of muscles and motor skills. All of this happens under the constant supervision of coaches and expert teams who are responsible for monitoring the physical activities of each child, spotting potential irregularities in time and providing proper professional advice.

Since these places have a precise schedule and program, every moment is designed to make the most of the stay at the camp. Rules of conduct are defined in such a way to teach children a clear structure and organization, which is of great importance for understanding independence and responsibility. In addition to the educational part, the most attention is paid to the fun part, which is usually realized in the evening hours, with various social games, quizzes and competitions available to children. Interactive education, along with the development of imagination and creativity, also implies useful knowledge on different topics. Next to sports, there are often talk on healthy nutrition or psychology, which can help children to find useful information in a spontaneous and interesting way.
All this is part of the Deki 5 summer camp, which is on Zlatibor mountain this year. As a company with a clear sports vision, supporting healthy lifestyle and providing support to young talents, this year we are also buddies with the Deki 5 Soccer Camp. Cooperation that started in 2018 aims to contribute to this unique soccer experience by providing quality sports equipment to all children during their stay at the camp.
We believe that sports and education are extremely important for proper growth and development, and that socializing and having fun that go along with it are a recipe for an exciting soccer experience. That is why we will continue to support this type of sports activities, together with a trained team of experts and enthusiasts, in order to enable campers of all ages to spend an unforgettable seven days outdoors.
