We emphasize pedagogical work. Our coaches are not just sports professionals, but mentors who build a healthy sports atmosphere through patience and understanding.
Systematic and gradual: We adapt our training to the biological development of children.
Equal dedication: Every child receives the same level of attention, regardless of their current level of talent or physical predispositions.
At „Kalimeru,“ we teach children that soccer is not just a battle for goals, but a school of life.
Fair play: Respect for opponents, referees, and teammates is our basic code.
Result in the second plan: We don't pressure the children to win. The goal is to enjoy the game and develop properly.
Culture of behavior: We educate children and parents about the importance of respectful behavior on the field and in the stands.
We work with children of age 2015 to 2021 model years, focusing on the development of motor skills, coordination, and soccer technique through age-appropriate play.

I am a former professional soccer player with extensive playing experience and a strong commitment to working with children and youth. Throughout my career, I developed the discipline, work ethic, and competitive spirit that I now pass on to younger generations through a professional and pedagogical approach.
My goal is to help every child develop technical and tactical skills, build self-confidence, and learn true sportsmanship values: Respect, teamwork, and responsibility.
I took my first steps in soccer at the FK Kolubara youth academy, after which I was part of the FK Crvena Zvezda youth system.
In my work, I focus on creating a positive and motivating environment where children thrive through discipline, work, and play.
I am married and the father of one child. I consider family values and responsibility to be the foundation of both my personal and professional life.
Step into the future. Play football with a purpose!
