Hood Groove Management ΔΕΗ 3×3 POWER TO THE HOOD by Eurohoops: A dynamic premiere in Thessaloniki!
3×3 POWER TO THE HOOD by Eurohoops went up for the first time in Thessaloniki, continuing its "journey" in neighborhoods and cities of Greece to spread the 3×3 basketball and highlight the everyday protagonists of each neighborhood. On Saturday 30 March, the event in collaboration with Eurohoops filled the Municipality of Ampelokipi with energy. The 12th Primary School was transformed into a basketball multi-purpose venue with two 3×3 courts and a variety of parallel activities.
Children of academies of Thessaloniki, accompanied by parents, friends, but also coaches, amateur and veteran athletes were in Ampelokipi for the event. The girls made their presence stronger than ever, as two girls' teams reached the Final Phase in the two junior age categories (10-13, 14-17), while a local junior athlete was the winner of the Open Challenge "Musical Balls". The adult games were very interesting; the Final was of a very high standard, with neighbours even coming out on the balconies to watch and the finalists being more than entitled to the ΔΕΗ and Eurohoops prizes. The ΔΕΗ 3×3 POWER TO THE HOOD by Eurohoops, focusing on the local culture of each city, had Robert Gallinat as a guest at its first event in Thessaloniki. The American basketball player of Aris, with a rich career in the US NCAA college championship and later in Europe, who has excelled this season in the Basket League and Eurocup, took pictures, gave autographs and did not hesitate to shoot shots with the participants.
Freestyler Dude K by our Hood Groove’s Μanagement Team "enchanted" Thessaloniki for the first time, with boys and girls running to congratulate him after his Street Basketball show and the older ones giving the loudest applause for his impressive trick shot.
The ΔΕΗ 3×3 POWER TO THE HOOD by Eurohoops travels to neighborhoods in Athens and Thessaloniki with the aim of sport, entertainment and the dissemination of 3×3, the popular, fast and dynamic game that from the "streets" found its way to the Olympic Games, highlighting the everyday "protagonists".
