Come to practice with us!

The Federation of Luxembourgish Basketball (FLBB) and the clubs unanimously expressed their common will to continue youth practices to allow young players to practice and play the sport that they love. Together, they will develop save practice conditions for the benefit of the youth. This is according to the press conference by our sports Minister on the 29th of October, during which the rules and restrictions for sports were explained in the context of the Covid-19-virus. All basketball games are postponed until at least the 1st of January 2021.

VIBBALL Echternach has recently started with their activities for young players to enjoy basketball. Our essences of proper youth development with the slogan 'Play to Learn and Learn to Play' is supported by many in Luxembourg and all around the world.

We like to introduce you to one of our VIBBALL Ambassadors, who plays Euroleague with ACS Sepsi-Sic in Sepsiszentgyörgy , the original home town of Ildikó Vass.

Die Frau im blauen Poloshirt trägt einen durchsichtigen Mund-Nasen-Schutz aus Plastik. „Es ist wichtig, dass die Kinder das Gesicht sehen können“, erklärt Ildiko Vass. Die Kinder sehen vor allem das Lächeln der ehemaligen Profispielerin. Vass zeigt Übungen, motiviert und lobt. Sie lobt auch dann, wenn die Dribblings nicht auf Anhieb funktionieren, und bemerkt jeden noch so kleinen Fortschritt. Zwischendurch gibt es lustige Spiele ohne Ball.
