www.healthlifeacademy.com ABOUT THE PROJECT
In 2018, Health Life Academy Association initiated the project Special Power League (SPL), a sports program for children with developmental disabilities which in the same year grew into a football and handball league for children with developmental disabilities.
The SPL has a year-round character, and it is designed based on the fact that children with disabilities do not have the opportunity to adequately play sports.
The value of the project has been recognized by the leading Croatian football and handball clubs that have established sections for children with developmental disabilities who actively participate in sports meetings throughout Croatia.
