ABOUT US
Aušra Sports Club was formed in 1955 as the sporting arm of the Resurrection Parish in Toronto. The Club was organized to bring the Lithuanian community together by providing a quality sport activity experience for children and adults. Athletes who have learned and played with Aušra have gone to university and college basketball and several have gone to play professionally in the NBA and Europe.
Based in Toronto's west end, Aušra competes in local house leagues and international tournaments hosted by similar organizations in the US and Europe.
The club also holds weekly training and recreational practices in basketball, table tennis and volleyball. Additional sports are considered upon demand. New members are always welcome to join the club - kids ages 5 to 17, adults, and veterans too!
APIE AUšRĄ
Sporto klubas "Aušra" buvo įkurtas 1955 metais kaip neatskiriama Prisikėlimo parapijos dalis skatinanti ir apjungianti sporto mėgėjus. Klubo tikslas – suteikti lietuvių kilmės jaunimui ir suaugusiems galimybę sportuoti, varžytis tarpusavyje ir su kitais sporto klubais, puoselėti lietuviškas tradicijas ir bendruomeniškumą. Daugelis sportininkų, besitreniravusių ir žaidusių "Aušroje", vėliau tęsė savo sportines karjeras universitetuose ir kolegijose, o kai kurie netgi profesionaliai žaidė NBA ir Europos krepšinio klubuose.
"Aušros" klubas yra įsikūręs Toronte, Kanadoje. Klubas siūlo įvairias sporto veiklas, tokias kaip krepšinis, stalo tenisas ir tinklinis. Treniruotės vyksta kiekvieną savaitę. Mes suteikiame galimybę tobulėti tiek pradedantiesiems, tiek pažengusiems sportininkams. Be to, klubas aktyviai dalyvauja vietiniuose ir tarptautiniuose krepšinio bei stalo teniso turnyruose (ŠALFASS turnyras, Pasaulio Lietuvių Sporto Žaidynės), kuriuos organizuoja sporto organizacijos Šiaurės Amerikoje ir Europoje. Mes skatiname dalyvavimą juose, o taip pat puoselėjame tarptautinį bendradarbiavimą ir sportinę draugystę.
"Aušra" yra atvira naujoms sporto šakoms ir visuomet mielai laukia naujų narių. Kviečiame prisijungti vaikus nuo 5 iki 17 metų, suaugusiuosius bei veteranus, norinčius tapti mūsų bendruomenės dalimi ir dalyvauti įvairiose sporto veiklose. Mūsų kvalifikuoti sporto treneriai padės ugdyti jūsų sporto įgūdžius ir jaustis lietuvių bendruomenės dalimi. Klubas ne tik skatina fizinį aktyvumą, bet ir ugdo komandinio darbo įgūdžius bei draugišką atmosferą, kuri padeda kurti stiprią ir vieningą lietuvių bendruomenę Toronte.
