‘Bouncing For Good’, the community initiative created by Euroleague Basketball’s One Team program in partnership with Motorola, made its latest stop in London this week as the project continues its multi-city journey across Europe. The event was co-organized with the London Lions, bringing basketball, creativity and inspiration to the students of King Solomon Academy.
After successful activations in Belgrade and Valencia earlier this season, Bouncing For Good continued to build momentum in London, engaging young people through an interactive workshop designed to promote teamwork, confidence, and positive life habits. One Team coaches, London Lions staff and volunteers guided students through a blend of basketball drills, team-building exercises and creative challenges that encouraged both physical activity and personal growth.
King Solomon Academy — located in central London and known for its culturally diverse community and commitment to equity — welcomed the program as part of its ongoing efforts to support students from a wide range of socioeconomic backgrounds. With 66% of its pupils receiving free school meals, the school places strong emphasis on providing opportunities that enrich students’ educational and social experiences.
During the afternoon, Bouncing For Good culminated in a special basketball donation, where London Lions players Amin Adamu, Mo Soluade and Jada Lewis from the London Lions Women’s team presented new basketballs to the school and participate in fun on-court activities with the students. The players shared insights from their own journeys in sport, helping inspire the next generation to stay active, ambitious and engaged.
Amin Adamu, also the One Team ambassador of the London Lions program, expressed his enthusiasm for being part of the initiative: “Growing up, basketball played a huge role in helping me build confidence and stay focused, so being here and sharing that with young people means a lot to me. If programs like this can give kids a positive space to learn, express themselves and feel supported, then it’s already making a real difference and I’m very happy to be able to take part of it”.
The partnership between Euroleague Basketball’s One Team, Motorola and local clubs such as the London Lions underscores a shared commitment to using sport as a tool for social good. With more European cities scheduled for upcoming visits, Bouncing For Good will continue delivering meaningful community engagement throughout the season.
