SCHOOL PROGRAMS
The athletic educational programs of the Hellenic Basketball Federation (EOK) are implemented in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and Religious Affairs, the Regional Basketball Associations and Local Committees of the Federation, the Physical Education Offices of the Education Directorates, as well as with the support of the respective municipalities. The aim of the Hellenic Basketball Federation is for students to become familiar with the Olympic Values and Athletic Ideals. The goal of the athletic educational programs is, through a specially designed set of exercises that promotes gender equality, to introduce children aged 4\u201314 to the sport of basketball, while also encouraging them to engage with topics such as life skills, nutrition, psychology, and a wide range of other social messages. These programs are implemented by academic, federal, regional, and local coaches, as well as coaches from basketball clubs.<\/p>\n
Purpose
Through proper guidance, our goal is for young students to develop a love for the sport of basketball, acquire appropriate basketball training both inside and outside the school environment, and cultivate the right mindset required for a team sport. By primarily using physical activities, the aim is to foster the psychomotor, emotional, and cognitive development of students and to support their harmonious integration into society. Through education, children are given the encouragement to further engage with and discover the sport of basketball, along with the long-term benefits it can offer them.<\/p>\n
