We’re proud to announce that FK Garliava Academy is now an official partner of BaltixSport—our second academy collaboration since launching just weeks ago.
This partnership marks another exciting step toward our mission: helping talented athletes from across Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia earn scholarships to study and play sport in the United States.
Garliava has built a reputation for investing in youth development, with coaches who are passionate not just about football but about creating meaningful life opportunities for their players. That’s exactly what BaltixSport is here to support.
“We know that many young players dream of continuing their journey beyond the Baltic borders—on the field and in the classroom,” says Tautvydas Poniskaitis, BaltixSport CEO and Founder. “With Garliava’s support and belief in this mission, we’ll help make that dream more accessible than ever.”
This sentiment was echoed by FK Garliava’s Manager, Henrikas Grigas, “Every year spent on the football pitch, in training and matches, is an invaluable investment in oneself. While not everyone will become a professional footballer, the discipline, dedication, and football skills developed along the way can serve as a strong foundation for pursuing education — which we believe is the key to success for our youth.”
What This Partnership Means for Garliava Players
Through this collaboration, athletes at FK Garliava Academy will now have:
✅ Priority evaluation and referral for US scholarships
✅ Tailored resources for players and parents
✅ Workshops and education on the US recruitment process
✅ Trusted mentorship from people who’ve done it themselves
This isn’t just about getting recruited—it’s about creating a roadmap for players who want to combine football and higher education abroad.
Building a Movement for Baltic Athletes
Garliava joins Kauno Žalgiris as an early partner of BaltixSport. We’re just getting started, and we’re already seeing incredible momentum from top-level Baltic academies who want to offer more for their athletes.
