It was leased by the club in order to ensure that the team\u2019s young players would have the appropriate accommodation and living conditions for those who have left their families behind to come to Thessaloniki on behalf of <strong>PAOK<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>These lucky players are all under one roof and all their needs are met. Training programs, nutrition, medical care, school courses, buses to take them to and from the training grounds, and security. All of which are not a given for any youngster in this day and age and should not be taken for granted.<\/p>\n<p>For the 2021-22 season, 45 children are living in the Academy House. Sixteen of those belong to the<strong> Under-19 <\/strong>side, 12 to the <strong>Under-17s<\/strong>, eight to the <strong>Under-16s<\/strong>, four to the <strong>Under-15s<\/strong>, plus two who play for the <strong>Under-14s<\/strong> and <strong>Under-13s<\/strong>. The facility also hosts three players of <strong>PAOK&#8217;s<\/strong> basketball team.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Grigoris Karavelis<\/strong>, who is in charge of the project, declares himself extremely satisfied and is convinced that the <strong>PAOK Academy House<\/strong> will prove an even bigger boost for the club&#8217;s young players.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Those who put in the&#8230; kilometers<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of course, there are those players who choose not to move to <strong>Thessaloniki,<\/strong> and instead prefer to commute for training and for matches. This is either because they are not yet at an age where they want to be separated from the family, or because they can still put in the miles without a problem.<\/p>\n<p>From the <strong>Under-17s, <\/strong>there&#8217;s <strong>Koumenos<\/strong> who travels from <strong>Kilkis<\/strong>, <strong>Vagionas<\/strong> from <strong>Moudania<\/strong>, <strong>Kalioglou<\/strong> from <strong>Philadelphia<\/strong>, <strong>Sovas<\/strong> from <strong>Assiros<\/strong>. <strong>Kesidis<\/strong> (<strong>Under-16s<\/strong>) lives in <strong>Prochoma<\/strong>, <strong>Vassili<\/strong> of the <strong>Under-15s<\/strong> in <strong>Kilkis<\/strong>. From the <strong>Under-14s<\/strong>, the trip of <strong>Kavala &#8211; Thessaloniki<\/strong> is made by <strong>Tsemalidis<\/strong>, <strong>Provatidis<\/strong> and <strong>Kaipis<\/strong>, from <strong>Drama<\/strong> there&#8217;s Avgitidis, from <strong>Skydra<\/strong> there&#8217;s <strong>Minasidis<\/strong> and from <strong>Krya Vrysi, Pella <\/strong>there&#8217;s <strong>Mokris<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>In the <strong>Under-13s<\/strong>, <strong>Kalpakidis<\/strong> and <strong>Danidis<\/strong> come and go from <strong>Komotini<\/strong>, <strong>Aivazoglou<\/strong> from <strong>Kavala<\/strong> and <strong>Nikolaidis<\/strong> and <strong>Kalpakis<\/strong> from <strong>Kilkis<\/strong>. In the <strong>Under-12s<\/strong> there are two players, <strong>Douralis<\/strong> and <strong>Avramidis,<\/strong> who travel from <strong>Kavala<\/strong>, <strong>Tentolouris<\/strong> from <strong>Larissa<\/strong> and <strong>Anastos<\/strong> from <strong>Veria<\/strong>, while for the <strong>Under-11s,<\/strong> <strong>Geladaris<\/strong> travels from <strong>Veria<\/strong>.
