The lack of tall is obvious in Greek basketball, since the exceptions are few. The Hellenic Basketball Federation, in order to eliminate this problem, decided to establish a program for the identification of tall children who in the long run could initially support small national teams.
The EEC Communication:
The Hellenic Basketball Federation through the Pillar of its Development Program and in the context of its continuous enrichment, is pleased to present its new program “Big Greeks”.
The motivation for the implementation of the new program was the lack observed in recent years in the promotion of high quality players in contrast to the past, in which our country had a strong presence.
The purpose of the program is to detect and promote athletes with special somatometric characteristics, based on specific criteria and scientifically designed procedures. Through these processes, a reservoir of potential International athletes, specially trained in sports and technology, will be created. A new Greek school of tall players!
The program will travel throughout Greece, with the contribution of selected coaches and scientists. It is noteworthy that the Big Greek program will not be limited to the training of the participating talents, but will be extended to the training of the coaching community, so that all new methods are applied in the training of clubs, as well as in the training of parents on the psychological and nutritional support of children.
