The effort can not proceed alone with us without the cooperation of unions and associations. Our strategy is based on four pillars: The first is development, with attracting young girls, which is the key issue for us. In this context, we will upgrade the youth championships. The second pillar is the upgrading of the national teams, from the Pagkorasides to the Women’s National Team. The third is the restructuring of the championships as with the lack of athletes the local championships have been swamped. The fourth, finally, is together with the clubs and associations to take care of the promotion of the sport. To find the audience we want, families with children. As for Final 4, with the consent of the clubs, we agreed to make a basketball celebration, so that it can be promoted and bring young children to us. We hope it becomes a good and competitive Final 4. Together we will make sure the stadium is as full as possible».
