Dear basketball friends,
A very warm welcome to our 28th HNBT.
It’s a pleasure and a great honour to have you here in the city of Groningen, basketball city number one in The Netherlands.
This HNBT edition 32 teams from Belgium, Bosnia, Czech Rep., Denmark, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Morocco, Poland and The Netherlands, will join into four age groups to compete with each other for the Gerard Bolhuis Challenge Cup.
A special welcome for the clubs who join HNBT for the very first time: Lokomotiv Plzeň (Czech Rep.), NSBU (Denmark), Basketball Akademie Bremen-Süd (Germany), Basket Nus Fenis Ayas (Italy), and Almere Pioneers (The Netherlands).
It’s always a great joy to see former players who were acting in one of the HNBT editions have realised their goal reaching the NBA, Euroleague or Olympic Team. Maybe we’ll see you in a couple of years and that you have made your dream became truth.
Make it a special experience in which you meet different styles of playing basketballas but also have fun together with your team as well as with basketball players from other countries and maybe become friends.
Just remind that you are very lucky to play this great sport. Lots of success!
Bart Prak (pres.)
