OUR MISSION :
We have a dream. A dream, of an open basketball department, in which we all evolve together, as players as well as human beings. An association where men work for women and women for men. A learning facility where our children learn not only dribbling and lay-ups, but also life skills. An association that sets an example for a society that stands for the will to develop, participation and co-determination, integrity and transparency as well as fairness and respect. We are Türkiyemspor Berlin Basketball.
#GIRLSBORNTOFLY
Women and girls are underrepresented in the sport of basketball. According to current data, only 23% of all player passes issued throughout Berlin are female.
We want to change that with our #GIRLSBORNTOFLY project!
As a Basketball Club in Berlin-Kreuzberg we want to:
- inspire girls of all backgrounds to participate in athletics
- encourage lifelong participation – from youth through adulthood
- support our members in their volunteer work
- contribute to equality in sport within our community and beyond
100 Female Basketball Players in Kreuzberg by 2023
Tracking #girlsborntofly
By end of 2023 : provide 100 FEMALE BASKETBALL players in the neighborhood with a new basketball home
Ballsie.
INSPIRING GIRLS TO BE LIFELONG PLAYERS
Ballsie started as a project of Freibeuter 2010 and Türkiyemspor, two basketball clubs based in Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. We now co-host events for the community to play, talk, and show support to our athletes and volunteers.
