How Does It Work?
We operate in communities and areas where basketball activities for teens are lacking, to make basketball accessible to diverse groups within Israeli society.
The school or social centre selects the players based on their familiarity with the participants and on each teen’s needs.
The activity includes weekly soccer practice, weekly social activities, and monthly tournaments in which regional teams meet for a celebration of sports spirit and values.
Instilling Values and Developing Leadership
We work with 13-15-year-olds who undergo an educational process focused on building team spirit, getting to know Israeli society, enhancing social, communal, and volunteer-based activism, and developing leadership skills.
אצלנו המגרש הוא גשר.
אנחנו מאמינים שמפגשים ספורטיביים בין ילדים מרקעים שונים הם פתח אפקטיבי וכלי יעיל לתקשורת בין יהודים וערבים, דתיים וחילוניים, עולים וילדי הארץ. בעינינו, העניין המשותף בספורט מאפשר לנו להתחבר זה לזו, למרות השוני.
