“Upon the program that was held in Palestine, I would like to thanks all the organizer that gave the Palestinian teachers, coaches, players and students new experience and knowledge that we will use in the future, which gives us a way to expand and develop the grassroots in all the cities and areas,” said President of the Palestine Basketball Federation (PBF), Ibrahim Habash.
Palestine have experienced some success at the regional level with the men's national team and being able to involve the sport even more at the grassroots level will be important to the growth of the game.
“It also puts us on the right track, how we can build and develop Palestinian basketball, which is through the schools, through organizing the Ball'in Schools program in our country, especially as it is an affordable program for any federation with great benefits,” added Habash.
The Ball'In Schools program then went on to Male, Maldives from 19-22 March.
"In our Ball'In School program, we focused on developing basketball in the islands; this will help increase the number of athletes across the nation,” said President of the Maldives Basketball Association (MBA), Mr. Ahmed Adam.
