WE WANT TO GROW: NOT TO BE PROFESSIONAL



 The friends of Baskin

VANOLI BASKET

Baskin is an integral part of the Vanoli Basket family and is a project that we support because we share values such as inclusion and attention to disabilities.

Vanoli Basket's journey, which started in Soresina in 1996, was consolidated in Cremona and on 7 June 2009 the club entered Serie A for the first time, playing 13 consecutive championships in the top division and winning the 2019 Coppa Italia.


  PALLACANESTRO REGGIANA

Baskin is inclusive spirit, enthusiasm and love 

for the game.

 Pallacanestro Reggiana was founded on 3 September 1974. Five decades on, the club boasts more than 40 seasons in the professional ranks and more than 10 consecutive in Serie A, counting in its palmares a Eurochallenge, an Italian Supercup and six promotions to Serie A, as well as two youth championships.

  SERGIO LARI

Founder and National President Basket Magistrates

The National Basketball Team discovered Baskin a few years ago in Cremona, where it was born, and still today, every time we attend one of their games, it excites and engages us.

Already a player, he began his career as a magistrate in Termini Imerese, and then continued it in Palermo and Trapani. He became a member of the Superior Council of the Magistracy and finally ended his career as public prosecutor in Caltanissetta.

  DIMITRIS ITOUDIS

 Head coach Fenerbahce Istanbul

Basketball has always set an example in many aspects for other sports as well, and Baskin, the world's first inclusive sport, is further proof of this.

As head coach: two Euroleagues, 2 Euroleague Coach of the Year, 6 Russian championships, 6 VTB United League (Russian and neighbouring teams); as assistant: 5 Euroleagues, 11 Greek championships.

 MATILDE VILLA

UMANA Venezia and Italian
National Team

Baskin was born from a wonderful idea and allows people to have fun, integrate and share: it is unique!

She made her debut in the A1 Series with Costa Masnaga at the age of 14 and in 2021 at the age of 16 she took the field with the senior Italian national team.

JASMINE KEYS

Famila Schio and Italian
National Team

For me, it is super exciting when men, I mean men and women, overcome all stereotypes and prejudices and create unity. This is Baskin, fantastic!

 

The daughter of Randolph Keys, a former Serie A player in Treviso and Verona, she won the last two Serie A1 championships with Famila Schio.

 MATTEO SORAGNA

Playing Baskin makes the eyes of girls, boys and their families shine. 

It is so beautiful that it makes you feel selfish.

A former player in Serie A and the national team, with a Silver at the 2004 Athens Olympics, he currently plays Baskin in Piacenza.

STEFANO MICHELINI

Baskin: action, sharing, emotion.

“Caro Marziano” Pif talks about Baskin

Baskin means Integrated Basketball. It is not just a sport for everyone, but for everyone together: male and female, disabled and able-bodied. Everyone has a key role to play and everyone must invest their resources to achieve, together, the result. Baskin is a sport in its own right, you win and you lose, and everyone contributes what they know and what they can. A rare example of true integration. In Este, a quadrangular match was played between four teams from Veneto awaiting the start of the championship: the best opportunity to get to know this sport and its protagonists up close.
