**About the Program:** 

By continuing its long-standing collaboration with the Association for the Care of People with Intellectual Disabilities “Klaipėdos viltis”, Neptūnas Klaipėda is laying the foundation for a sustainable and meaningful social program that reflects the club’s commitment to inclusion, community impact, and social responsibility.  

This season’s One Team program aims to promote social inclusion, strengthen confidence and personal development, improve communication and interpersonal skills, and encourage teamwork, respect, and healthy lifestyles through basketball.  

By integrating adapted on-court sessions, participants will have the opportunity to learn fundamental basketball skills while practicing cooperation, leadership, discipline, and self-expression in a supportive environment. The program also seeks to deepen the bond between Neptunas and the local community by offering meaningful experiences such as attending games, interacting with players, and taking part in club activities, ensuring that participants feel valued, empowered, and connected.  

For Neptunas, One Team is not only about delivering structured sessions, but about building lasting relationships, celebrating diversity, raising awareness about inclusion, and demonstrating the true power of basketball to unite people and create positive social change.
