With this activity, the Foundation is promoting and stimulating playful grassroots basketball for 5 – 12-year-olds of both genders. The aim is to educate on the importance of good health and well-being, giving people responsible for Mini Basketball the tools to help keep kids active with fun and playful activities.
A Mini Basketball Convention is organized annually in a country of each continent with the respective FIBA Regional Office. Delegates responsible for Mini Basketball in their respective countries attend their continental Convention.
The delegates and local coaches undergo practical and theoretical sessions where they witness playful ways of teaching basketball fundamentals to youths and actively engage in an exchange of best practices and to reach better global coordination.
The participants learn ways to continue developing the Mini Basketball movement in their respective countries.
To leave a legacy for the hosting country and boost the Mini Basketball momentum, a Jamboree is organized, which gathers children to play basketball in a fun and exciting environment. Each child receives a Molten basketball to encourage them to keep on playing and staying active.
