The festival began with a brisk warm-up, after which six playgrounds were waiting for the children, on which the football field was distributed. A volunteer coach worked with his assistant at each of these sites. The children had a variety of exercises with a soccer ball, various games and fun relay races. The sites of a psychologist and a policeman were also unique. Children could talk to the police about their rights or responsibilities.
