Over Limits Sports
The Knin Gymnastics Club is non-profit local sport club and it is located and operates in the town of Knin, a
small town in the Šibenik-Knin County, which is still an area of special state concern due to its poor
development after the Homeland War. Due to insufficiently educated staff for conducting gymnastic
training, the head coach of gymnastics is from Šibenik, a city about 60 km away.
The club is led by highly educated people from different professions – the president is an economist, vice
president is master of kinesiology and secretary of the club is master of arts in the field of photography, so
the club has a wide range of different professions that help it work and expand. As top gymnastics requires
top conditions, which the club does not currently have, the club is primarily focused on working with
children and promoting health-oriented physical activity and encouraging recreational gymnastics.

Therefore, children enroll in the club from the age of three. This creates a good basis for further sports and
so children implement a healthy way of life from early childhood. The specificity of the club is that the
trainings take place in an abandoned warehouse, which is currently used by both the taekwondo club and
the tennis club. Currently, about 70 children, aged 3 to 12, are enrolled in the club. Our services are free of
charge for children from socially disadvantaged families. Key activities are regulated by the Statute of the
club:
- Sports preparation and training of children and adults in area of sports gymnastic
- Promoting healthy-enhanced physical activity
- Cooperation and exchange with the same or similar domestic or foreign associations and institutions
- Preparation, organization and realization of sports activities for preschool children and adults;
