**About the program:** 

This season marks Trefl Sopot’s inaugural participation in Euroleague Basketball’s One Team program. Through this program, Trefl Sopot is collaborating with the Youth Therapeutic Centre “Anthill” to provide support for young people aged 13 to 18 who face complex challenges, including struggles with substance abuse. 

In partnership with “Anthill,” Trefl Sopot aims to foster personal and social development through structured basketball activities led by experienced coaches and club ambassadors. The program combines physical training with workshops designed to build essential life skills such as communication, teamwork, and resilience. Participants will engage in regular basketball practices that focus not only on athletic skills but also on learning to follow rules, respect others, and communicate effectively – qualities that are vital for their future integration into society. 

The teenagers from “Anthill” will have opportunities to attend Trefl Sopot games, meet players, and experience the excitement of being part of a larger community. This exposure to positive role models and active lifestyles aims to boost their confidence and encourage a sense of belonging.
