A Year of Hoops and Heart: 2024 Highlights

We’re filled with gratitude for the incredible spirit of collaboration in our basketball community. This past year has been nothing short of amazing, and we’re thrilled to share some highlights that showcase how basketball continues to unite and inspire us all!

Fyllingen Lions x Frøya – A Game-Changing Collaboration

The partnership between neighborhood clubs Fyllingen Lions and Frøya Basket has been a true example of community spirit. From sharing resources like bleachers to working together on initiatives that merge children from both communities, we’re setting the stage for a brighter future for basketball in Bergen.

Rebranding Success of Fyllingen Lions

Something really magical happens when dynamic branding resonates with people of all ages. The rebranding efforts of the Fyllingen Lions has brought more children into the stands, filled with cheering spectators, and genuine positivity on and off the court. From clothing to other merchandise, Lions gear has become a top item on many Christmas lists.

BasketAkademiet – A Place for Talent and Togetherness

Under the dedicated leadership of Kristoffer Gjerdem Sætren, BasketAkademiet is thriving! This year, we’ve expanded our offerings to include social hangouts for those who don’t play and development programs for emerging talents. The joy and success of our basketball camps over the past year has been phenomenal, creating unforgettable memories and new friendships.

An International Milestone

We’re proud to announce BasketAkademiet’s newest international collaboration with CB Getafe (Spain), uniting two basketball communities dedicated to nurturing young talent and fostering global connections. This partnership will feature joint training programs, camps, and clinics in both countries, along with collaborative planning to support player and coach development. We are thrilled to continue to build a brighter future for basketball across an international level, strengthening the sport in both regions, and creating exciting opportunities for growth

None of this would be possible without the unwavering support of everyone involved—from the players and coaches to the fans and families. Together, we’re not just building teams; we’re creating a community of hope and purpose.
