Softball Club Princ Zagreb proudly announces the IMPACT Conference – Mentoring and Projects in Sports Club Development, which will take place on:
📅 April 29, 2026
📍 Zagreb, Hilton Garden Inn Hotel
🕙 Starting at 10:00 AM
About the Conference
The conference is organized as part of the Erasmus+ project IMPACT, which focuses on the development of young athletes through a structured mentoring model within sports clubs.
Through many years of working with children and young athletes, we have recognized the challenges clubs face on a daily basis – from young athletes dropping out of sport to the lack of structured support in their development. As a response to these challenges, the IMPACT model was created, connecting experienced and younger club members through mentoring.
What to Expect
During the conference, participants will have the opportunity to:
- explore key challenges in working with young athletes
- learn how the IMPACT model was developed and how it works
- discover practical tools that can be applied in everyday club activities
- hear real-life experiences and examples of mentoring in practice
Why It Matters
Mentoring is not just an additional activity – it is a way of working that:
- helps retain young athletes in sport
- develops responsibility and leadership in older players
- strengthens connections within the club
- supports long-term development of sports organizations
Project Partners
The IMPACT project is implemented in cooperation with:
- Zagreb Sports Association
- SK Joudrs Praha (Czech Republic)
The project is co-funded by the European Union through the Erasmus+ programme.
Invitation
We invite sports club representatives, coaches, and everyone working with young athletes to join us and explore how mentoring can improve and strengthen club environments.
