Plauen celebrates in Sonnen-Sand: The big beach basketball anniversary!

Theaterplatz, 08523 Plauen, Deutschland - Last weekend, the beach basketball tournament in Plauen celebrated its 10th anniversary and attracted numerous spectators to Theaterplatz. What started a decade ago has now become a great event that presents local and regional basketball in a unique way. The first tournament of the BC Vogtland took place in 2013 and has blossomed into an important event in the association's calendar. While the players throw their baskets on the hot sand, the audience can cheer for loud music and follow the exciting games. Freie Presse enthusiastically reported on the atmosphere and the positive feedback from players and Viewers.

Tobias Thoß, an experienced player of BC Vogtland, had a special moment during the tournament. He scored a rebound and fit the ball on the eight -year -old Konrad, who cleverly made a basket. Such actions show how much the integration of children is valued in the competition. Thoss was consistently positive about the possibility of integrating young talents into such an event.

youth promotion in Plauen

As part of the tournament, the “More action, less console” initiative of the BC Vogtland also received great attention. These programs are aimed at children aged 8 and over and young people up to 18 years old and include free one -month taster membership. The goal is clear: to inspire more young people for basketball. The association currently offers training groups that enable both leisure sports and competitions in the district league in Chemnitz, which motivates many young players to do sports. Information on this can be found on the website of the BC Vogtland.

The BC Vogtland was founded six years ago and has since developed into an important factor in Saxon basketball. With 127 members, the youth teams from U10 to U18 are active in the Saxon Oberliga. The men's and women's teams are also successful and prove that the mix of regional and international talents works. Club chief Daniel Onofras is optimistic and plans to increase the number of members to 150 in the next two years.

promotion of young talent in basketball

In Germany, promoting young talent in basketball is becoming increasingly important. A current infographic of the Institute for Applied Training Science (IAT) clearly shows the funding systems. Adam Ligocki, the sporting director of the German Basketball Federation, emphasizes the advantages of this transparent information policy for the actors. The tailor -made support for young athletes should help to make the jump.

Overall, the exploited interaction between tournaments, initiatives for talent promotion and the committed association work of BC Vogtland shows that basketball not only lives in the region, but also flourishes. The beach basketball tournament in Plauen is therefore not only a highlight of the sports calendar, but also a sign of the positive development of youth basketball in Dresden and beyond.
