GREETINGS OF THE PRESIDENT OF PANELLINIOS - ALEXOPOULOS ALEXIS
As president of the Panellinios Gymnastics Association (RAC) I welcome the organization of the shooting camp "10K shots" that will take place on August 1-3 at the facilities of our club, in collaboration with the head coach of the RAC academies, Margarita Malama, and the recognized her experienced team, OZAN Sirikci - coach in the back to back champion of EuroLeague Anadolu Efes, Antonis Moraitis - coach in the infrastructure of KAO Melission and Thanasis Molyvdas - associate coach in Aris, in the Men's National and in the Salonica Basketball Camp, in the Panhellenic in A1.
The team will create and organize the first shooting camp in Greece, which will combine the teaching of the correct shooting technique with the special strengthening and practice, as well as its perfection through a special exercise book and exciting competitive games.
The Panellinios Gymnastics Association will be a help in any such effort made in order to teach both its athletes and athletes of all teams the right techniques that will provide them with the appropriate equipment and tools to evolve and become better players.
I am convinced that this initiative will be a completely successful event and I hope that it will become a station for Greek basketball players, resulting in its annual event.
