- YMCA European Table tennis championship in Freudenstadt and
- YMCA European basketball championship in Siderno.
The ESY organises two big events every year, but each year 2 sports. 2016 is time for basketball and table tennis.
The European YMCA Table Tennis Championships will take place in Freudenstadt/Germany, May 26 – 29, 2016 and is divided in different categories:
Men – Women – Junior Men – Junior Women – Senior Men (40+) – Senior Women (40+).
Freudenstadt is a small city in the Blackwood Forest, close to Stuttgart and Karlsruhe. Since December 2015 a motivated team of volunteers is preparing to welcome the table tennis players from all over Europe in their town.
As you don’t need a team for the table tennis competition, this is a great opportunity also for single players or small groups to join this championship.
Invitation and registration letter is available here.
The European YMCA Basketball Championship is the coming big event in 2016 after the table tennis and will take place for the second time in Siderno, Italy. YMCA Siderno will be in charge of the organization of the event and they are working hard to welcome all the participants.
Siderno is a small town in South Italy on the Jonian cost, where the YMCA is located very close to the beach. The facilities of YMCA Siderno will give the opportunity to all the players to enjoy the competition, the beach and to learn about the history of the area.
For the first time since 1956, the Basketball Championship is open to a guest movement not only from Europe, that’s why YMCA USA was invited to take part in the competition.
Teams from Germany, Finland, Sweden and Italy will join the event and the ESY group is working hard to involve more YMCAs around Europe to participate in this event.
Invitation and registration letter is available here.
You are all welcome to join!
