The second season of “3×3 Sundays powered by Trace ‘n Chase” kicked off with record participation on Sunday, October 6th, at the Eurohoops Dome in Kifissia. Over 80 young athletes from four teams in Athens came together to play 3×3 basketball, enjoying the spirit of competition while earning collectible EuroLeague cards from Trace ‘n Chase!
The unique collaboration between Eurohoops and Trace ‘n Chase continues into its second season, aiming to share the excitement and passion for sports with young athletes. The “3×3 Sundays” series at Eurohoops Dome is a cornerstone of their joint activities, offering academy players the chance to explore the fast-paced, dynamic nature of 3×3 basketball—a sport that made its Olympic debut recently—while having fun and receiving exciting prizes from Trace ‘n Chase.
A Fun-Filled Opening Event
The first event of the new season was dedicated to younger age groups, hosting athletes born in 2013 and 2014 from Eurohoops Academy’s two divisions (Exelixis and Leonteios), GS Arion, and Wave Basketball. These young players gathered from Kifissia, Patissia, Pangrati, and Petroupoli, taking part in a 1.5-hour session of non-stop 3×3 action. The focus was on having fun while learning the fundamentals of basketball, with the state-of-the-art Eurohoops facilities setting the perfect stage for this development.
The young athletes had the opportunity to improve their skills, build new friendships, and at the end of the event, every participant received a special gift: a pack of 2023-24 Panini Donruss Turkish Airlines EuroLeague Basketball Gravity Box trading cards, featuring EuroLeague stars, a product that is debuting for the first time on the market!
Adding a Competitive Edge
To bring out the competitive spirit, shooting challenges were held for each age category. The winners of these challenges were rewarded with a special treat: a box of Milwaukee Bucks & Golden State Warriors Champions Sets, a collector’s dream!
A Monthly Tradition
“3×3 Sundays by Trace ‘n Chase” will now be a monthly event at the Eurohoops Dome, with Eurohoops Academy hosting different teams across various age categories. Each event will offer young athletes the opportunity to play this fast-growing sport in one of the most advanced sports facilities in Athens. And as always, Trace ‘n Chase will have special prizes for all participants, ensuring that everyone walks away with a piece of the EuroLeague magic.
