SCORE International partnered with Escola Nacional de Basquetebol (ENB) and the Federacao de Basquetebol in Cantanhede, Portugal to teach basketball strategies and techniques with some of the best international coaches in the region. More than 250 Portuguese coaches attended the two day event. Tony Jasick, the head basketball coach at IPFW and I had the chance to speak with the coaches on three different topics. We joined the U18National Coach from Italy, Marco Ramondino, the U16 National Coach from Portugal, Rio Gomes, the Assistant National Coach for Portugal, Mario Gomez to encourage and challenge the coaches. SCORE also was working with Word of Life Portugal Director, David West hosting the boy's basketball team from Worthington Christian. The team played local teams and did free basketball clinics.
