Ακαδημία Μπάσκετ

In 2019, we celebrated 100 years since the official introduction of basketball to Thessaloniki and Greece. This milestone is marked by a historic photo from that year, showing YMCA Thessaloniki members practicing the new sport using an upside-down wooden chair as a basket.

In 1919, on a dirt basketball court near the White Tower, the foundation for the basketball department of YMCA Thessaloniki was laid. This dirt court was the heart of basketball in Thessaloniki. It hosted the first basketball championship, where YMCA Thessaloniki secured the second place behind Aris, with Mimis Tsikinas, who was also the team’s coach, as the leading figure.

YMCA Thessaloniki has won two Greek Youth Basketball Championships in 1970 and 1971 and two Greek Children’s Basketball Championships in 1969 and 1971.

Throughout its long history, the YMCA Thessaloniki basketball department has produced outstanding figures in the sport and athletics in general, with many athletes representing our national teams.

The balanced development of body, mind, and spirit is a non-negotiable goal of our academy. With continuous training for our staff, we maintain a model academy that creates a unique reciprocal relationship with our competitive teams.

Our developmental competitive teams (pre-children, children, and youth) excel in their respective categories in the Thessaloniki Basketball Clubs Association championships.
