Friends of the Basketball celebrate family at stake between parents and children

For the second year, the CAB Coordination will organize the Family Game. The event will take place on 25 April, a holiday, at 11 a.m., in the CAB Pavilion. The Family Game aims to be a celebration of the family as a fundamental cell of the development of children and young people, as well as an essential component of the Sports Training process. As such, two teams will be front-to-front - a Red Team and a White Team - formed by the athletes of the Mini-8, Mini-10, Mini-12, Sub-14 and Sub-16 teams, and their respective Education Officers. Each of the teams will be guided by club coaches, who will do their best to contribute to the show. In order for the players to have a memory of a special day, in which parents and children 'measured strength' in a healthy and interactive way in a basketball field, the club will provide all participants with a t-shirt alluding to the event, so that they can save a memory of a different and special moment. "The role the family plays in the Sports Training process is neither sufficiently recognized nor valued. Therefore, the 'Family Game' aims to celebrate the family as the central core of all development, including sports," said Francisco Gomes, president of the CAB. "Without the families and without the sacrifices that fathers and mothers make at the level of time and availability for sons and daughters to be able to practice their modalities of election, there would simply be no Sport. Therefore, it is a duty of all clubs and all modalities to recognize the primary role of the Education Officers and to thank them for believing that Sport is in fact a very important continuation of the growth process of children and young people", concluded the leader of Friends.
