Getting to know how a top club works is one of the most important goals for us to be able to bring our way of working closer to their level, because we want to improve the development opportunities for the youngest who are involved in basketball in our club.
We expect our coaches to learn something and thus improve their work.

Therefore, we are happy about this opportunity and believe that our cooperation will be fruitful.
