About the program:
This season, Valencia Basket has developed its 13th One Team program in partnership with the “San Juan Bautista” Foundation, while it is also receiving support from CaixaBank, which collaborates with hundreds of organizations and thousands of volunteers who work together to fight poverty and exclusion. “San Juan Bautista” is a foster home for children and teenagers in a vulnerable situation, with it providing attention and education to develop individuals to be better integrated in their communities.
A group of girls and boys, aged between eight and 17 years old, are participating in this season’s program, which focuses on teaching life skills through basketball. A total of 11 weekly sessions that will focus on team building, effort and problem solving as main life skills to develop a proper effort culture. Valencia players Jaime Pradilla and Nate Sestina will support the program as One Team Ambassadors in the 2024-25 season.
