Russia (bbabo.net), - The Russian Basketball Federation (RBF), led by 2007 European Champion and 2012 Olympic medalist Andrey Kirilenko, is launching a new project to develop the game among the masses.

The main objective of the project, which is fashionably named "#pumping basket" for youth, is to improve existing basketball courts in the regions by replacing backboards and rings. In April, the RSE, together with one of its sponsors, will select a pool of 10 cities on a competitive basis, to which 20 sets of equipment will be sent.

At the moment, the actual problem is not so much the number of sports facilities in the regions, but their quality. Therefore, now it is necessary to show how to improve existing sports facilities without resorting to large-scale construction. Replacements will be provided with durable metal shields and anti-vandal nets for basketball hoops. Such a set of materials will allow the site to function for a long time and easily survive the difficult climatic conditions of our country.

On February 18, the president of the RSE, the best Russian basketball player in the 21st century, Andrei Kirilenko, turned 41 years old. The birthday boy met in a good mood. After all, a few days ago, Honored Master of Sports Kirilenko in the Dominican Republic personally witnessed how the Russian women's team qualified for the World Cup after a 12-year break.

The all-Russian public organization RFB in its congratulations wished Andrey Gennadievich "good health, inexhaustible energy, constant good luck, good mood, conquering the steepest peaks, implementing all grandiose plans and implementing the most daring ideas and projects! And so that all national teams continue to delight with new victories and great achievements!
