About the program: Valencia Basket’s program is supported by CaixaBank, through the Fundación La Caixa. As in previous editions, this ninth Valencia Basket One Team project sees the practice of basketball used as a vehicle to promote well-being and social inclusion. The Taronja Club will work on this occasion with the IES Peset Aleixandre de Paterna throughout a program of ten sessions in which this season's One Team Ambassadors, Derrick Williams and Martin Hermannsson, will have a special importance. A group of 16 young people aged between 13 and 17 are taking part in this initiative between January and March. The aim is for the participants to live positive experiences and develop healthy habits of personal improvement that can be transferred to the school or work environments. This all comes through learning the basic concepts of a collective sport such as basketball, which will help participants to know the values of sacrifice and responsibility that derive from organized exercise, using sport as a formula for personal development and guiding their steps towards growing as people through the practice of sports.
