Italian Basketball Highlights: Calabria Youth Season Wraps Up and Reggio Emilia Baskings Claim National Title

The regional basketball federation in Calabria concluded its intensive youth season with a series of events across the region, culminating in a regional gathering of under‑15 and under‑17 selections. Coach Umberto Di Martino praised the collaborative effort between clubs, technical staff and the federation, emphasizing the focus on long‑term athlete development rather than isolated results.

In a separate celebration, the Reggio Emilia Baskings were presented with a plaque in the Sala del Tricolore after winning the Italian Baskin championship, an inclusive basketball competition that brings together male and female players of differing abilities. Mayor Marco Massari and sport officials highlighted the team’s eight‑year journey and its embodiment of inclusion and teamwork. The Baskings will now represent Italy at the upcoming international championships in Paris, serving as ambassadors for the sport’s integration values.
