A specialized petanque court has been opened on the territory of the Dnipropetrovsk State University of Internal Affairs, where military veterans have already begun training.
This sport, gaining popularity among veterans worldwide, has become another tool for physical and psychological rehabilitation, team-building, and active leisure.
The initiative is being implemented as part of DSUIA’s veteran program, which aims to create a welcoming space for education, sports, and social interaction among former servicemen and servicewomen.

*** Petanque is a type of boules game in which the goal is to throw hollow metal balls as close as possible to a small wooden target ball, while standing inside a circle with both feet on the ground. It is typically played on hard dirt or gravel, but can also be played on grass, sand, etc. The game is similar to bocce and boules.
