Building foundations, not just athletes
Discover the heart of AK Sveti Marko. More than just a sports club, we're a community dedicated to healthy development, joyful participation, and building strong foundations for life. Since 1998, we've been a cornerstone of Makarska, fostering a love of athletics in children. Welcome to our story.
More than a club, a foundation
At AK Sveti Marko, we believe every child is an athlete. Our purpose is not to find the one-in-a-million prodigy, but to ensure that every single child who walks through our gates discovers the strength, joy, and confidence that athletics can bring. We build people first, athletes second. And in doing so, we occasionally build champions for life.
Our sacred pillars
At AK Sveti Marko, our core values are the bedrock of everything we do. We are committed to the holistic development of every child, prioritizing joy, long-term growth, and community belonging above all else. We provide a professional and supportive environment where discipline and fun coexist, ensuring that every young athlete we nurture leaves with not just stronger muscles, but a stronger character.
The Sveti Marko difference
What truly makes us different is our ultimate product. Another club might produce a Season Champion. AK Sveti Marko strives to produce a Lifelong Athlete and a Confident Human. We are not a factory for polishing gifted stones. We are a river that smooths and strengthens every pebble in its current, revealing the unique beauty and resilience in each one, and carrying them all forward together.
"Finally. A place that understands my child is not a future Olympian, but a whole person. A place that won't crush their spirit but will nurture it. This isn't about pressure; it's about potential."
A grateful parent
