Brose baskets visit eltmann secondary school students

At six stations, the students got a taste of the sport and learned a lot about basketball. The focus was on dribbling, passing, throwing, basket handling, ball handling and coordination. The leadership was in the hands of the graduate sports economist and youth coordinator sebastian bohnlein, who is on the road with ten young helpers in the schools to inspire the young people for basketball.

In addition, three bundesliga players visited our school last year, providing a lot of information and leaving a special impression."

With our training we want to ignite the spark for basketball." he considers it important to convey values in fair play and as a team player.
