The Antetokounmpo Academy is a community program that combines basketball training and educational inspiration aimed towards young boys and girls aged 10 to 17 from low income families.
The program involves 75 minutes of basketball training twice a week for 100 athletes per year at two training grounds: the Lamprini court and the Εllinoroson court, hosting 50 athletes each.
Moreover, the program provides up to 12 training positions for junior coaches aged 18 to 25 during the season. The junior coaches will be able to participate in the training sessions of the Antetokounmpo Academy under the supervision of the Head Coach Evina Maltsi, an international athlete, who has made history in women’s basketball.
