Regular training of pupils in sports clubs outside of school is a part of the tradition of Veliko Gorica schools, as evidenced by Velika Gorica's latest title of the European City of Sports in 2023. For children in development, 3 (1st, 2nd and 3rd grade) or 2 hours (4th grade) of physical and health education classes per week at school is not enough, so regular training of pupils in sports clubs outside of school is very important for their physical, emotional and psychological development. The aim of this paper was to determine the views of Velika Gorica teachers regarding the regular training of pupils in sports clubs. The research was conducted using a Google form survey. The questionnaire contained 3 personal questions and 9 statements whose content described the social and educational characteristics of student athletes. Answers were graded using a Likert rating scale from 1 to 5. The results showed that Velika Gorica teachers motivate their students to train regularly in sports clubs outside of school. They also showed that student athletes are responsible and motivated to work in class. That they are collegial and have good social skills. Also to strive to compete with classmates and peers. In addition, student athletes do not expect to be spared due to training obligations. The results also showed that the teachers do not agree that student athletes are more successful than their peers, that they complete more additional content for classes and that they show interest in other areas outside of the sport they practice. The difference between the schools that participated in the research is not statistically significant. The teachers of all the Velika Gorica schools perceive student athletes equally and encourage them to train regularly.
