FIBA U17: An exceptional and exemplary World Championship

The first ever FIBA U17 World Championship for Women  will be held in Toulouse and Rodez, France from 16th to 25th July 2010.

The draw for the competition took place on 12th February and the Local Organising Committee (LOC) used the occasion to outline its strong commitment to the sustainability of the event.

While the 12 best teams in the world in that age category are expected to produce ahigh level of play on the court, the tournament will also be notable because of the outstanding commitment to the community.

FIBA called on the French Basketball Federation (FFBB) to organise the event in conjunction with the LOC and they were awarded the label Agenda 21 - Sport and Sustainable Development from the French National Olympic Committee (CNOSF). It is the first time that the label has been attributed to a team sporting event.

The label is testament to the fact that the tournament leads by example from an environmental standpoint as well as economic and social ones. This is based on three areas: the satisfaction of practitioners, setting out and meeting environmental requirements and having sustained and positive economic and social benefits.

LOC Co-President and Chairperson of the Midi-Pyrénées Basketball League Cathy Giscou said: “Beyond the sporting aspect, obtaining this label must be an exemplary springboard for the policy of our league and the organisation of future events. This great human adventure will be beneficial from all points of view.”
 
A sporting and exemplary educational event
In order to obtain this label of excellence, the event in its entirety was considered, designed and organised with sustainability in mind. The issue of transport is a perfect example of that. A number of solutions will be put in place, from the use of electric cars – hybrids and/or ones with low CO2 emissions – to availing of public transport tickets offered in partnership with Tisséo, the public transport network for the city of Toulouse. Additionally, the Midi-Pyrénées region, in collaboration with the French National Railways (SNCF), is offering free tickets to travel between the two host cities.

The LOC also wishes to develop a civic and educational dimension through “sustainable” theme days over the course of the event: basketball-citizen, women in sport, sport and disability, health and nutrition are a few of the themes.

Similarly, a partnership with humanitarian organisation Secours Populaire plans to invite children to attend games.

All these activities will take place within the basketball village.




The event’s mascot symbolises this sporting and durable dynamic. “Naturally” is a green character shaped as a 12-leaf clover (representing the 12 countries taking part in the competition) and will provide entertainment at the André Brouat Palais des Sports of Toulouse as well as the Amphitheatre of Rodez.

Make a note then of 16th July, the opening day of a tournament with a strong emphasis on ecological sustainability.

Three on three basketball to be added to  
Youth Olympic Summer Games

A slimmed down three-a-side version of basketball could be on the Olympic program as early as the 2020 Summer Games, the secretary general of the sport's governing body told Reuters on Wednesday.

Three-on-three, which is played over three periods on half a court with one hoop, will make its debut at the Youth Olympic Games in Singapore in August.

"It's not an alternative but it's an add-on and we will have it at the Olympics in 2020/2024," the International Basketball Federation's (FIBA) Patrick Baumann said.

"Three on three will develop. The Youth Olympic Games is the first step then we will have probably have a World Cup and Masters series starting in two years then you create a generation of professional players."

FIBA hopes the format will appeal to those who play the sport for fun.

"It's a product that the kids and the youth play out there for their pleasure and which hasn't really been part of anything," said Baumann who added that three times as many people played basketball as soccer.

"It's a free game, you go when you want, you play with who you want...and it's already out there. What it is not, it's not part of a worldwide community of three-on-three basketball players. That's where I think we have an amazing opportunity to just create a tsunami of basketball players."

Germany's U17 wins bronze medal after an awesome week
of Albert Schweitzer Tournament action

Between 1973 and 2000 teams donning the red, white and blue never ranked lower than third at the Albert Schweitzer Tournament. During that time span Team USA won the competition an all-time record ten times. Germany's best result came in 1959 and 1983 coming in on the third place. In this year's bronze medal game Germany (U17) beat the United States of America 79:68.

It was the German young guns who struck first as Besnik Bekteshi was wet from downtown. Bekteshi and mates pulled away early (0:7, 3.) before the USA picked up the float of the game (5:7, 5.). The second trey from Ryan Boatright rattled in to give his team the top side of the scoreboard (13:11, 8.). Little later Ehingen (ProB) standout Malik Müller had a hot hand from deep striking twice - from the corner and from the top of the arc - to tie things up (17:17, 10.) shortly before the first quarter was closed (17:19).
Midway through the second stanza Bekteshi passed by his defender, chased down the lane for a layer plus one to give Germany the biggest lead thus far (23:33, 15.). Teams went back and forth until Damian Leonard verified his reputation as a shooter to knock down two long bombs (31:33, 17.). Team USA nearly caught up on the young guns, but Julius Wolf drained another triple to separate things on the scoreboard (31:36, 18.). After he showed off some nice inside moves Paul Albrecht was rejected on another hook shot by Kevin Ware (35:44, 20.).

Things got spicy when Albrecht returned the favor blocking Ware on a drive to the hoop. Although Mike Chandler had a nice throw down, the U.S. was unable to create some momentum out of that (39:50, 25.). Müller drained his third trey of the game to push his colors and grabbed an offensive rebound to put it back in (42:57, 28.). Ware came down the track with a steal breaking away for a monster jam. Once again Team USA was not able to take advantage of this emotional high as Germany kept playing in a well-organized manner (46:61, 30.).

As time ran down in the fourth quarter more and more fans at a packed US Sports Arena stared at the scoreboard, checking if the U.S. would still be in reach for a comeback. Coach Larry Krystowiak set up a trap defense to force turnovers off the overall flawless performing German backcourt (55:63, 34.). Instead Boatright and Co. commited several turnovers on their own. As an effect, Paul Albrecht was able to run down the court off one of the lost ones for a potential three point play (58:70, 38.). A three pointer by Bekteshi put the nail in the coffin with less than two minutes to go (61:75, 38.). Krystowiak called for time, but his players had no answer for what would bring Germany its third overall bronze medal at an Albert Schweitzer Tournament!

Germany will host the FIBA U17 World Championship from 2nd to 11th July in Hamburg.
