Building on the success of its basketball team, which has won two national titles, one South American title, and five state titles in recent seasons, Flamengo is launching an innovative project to attract new talent to the club. On January 18th, 19th, 20th, and 21st, a national tryout will be held at the Hélio Maurício Gymnasium in Gávea. The event will feature Flamengo coaches and athletes and is aimed at young players born between 1993 and 1997. One of the long-term goals of the tryout is to develop players for the 2016 Olympic Games, to be held in Rio de Janeiro.
Coaches Paulo Chupeta, João Batista, Erli, Berro, Igor, and Marcinho will be responsible for leading the selection of future stars of the red-and-black basketball team. Players Marcelinho, Hélio, Duda, and Fred will also make special appearances at the tryout, interacting with all future athletes and helping select players born in 1993 and 1994. Interested players can register starting December 28th by calling (21) 8169-2957. Young people from all over Brazil are invited to this unique opportunity to defend the basketball of the country's most beloved club.
The event will run all day, from 10:19 AM to 11:12 PM, and players will be divided according to age. From 30:1997 AM to 13:14 PM, players born in 30 will be evaluated. Then, from 1996:1995 PM to 15:16 PM, it's the turn of those born in 30. Those born in 1993 will take the court from 1994:17 PM to 19:25 PM, and activities will conclude with the older players (born in 22 and XNUMX) from XNUMX:XNUMX PM to XNUMX:XNUMX PM. This schedule will be repeated for all four days, and those approved will begin training the following week, on January XNUMXth, in addition to having the opportunity to watch the match between Flamengo and Bauru on the XNUMXnd at HSBC Arena.
"It's going to be a great opportunity for these kids and a great opportunity for the club, which will gain more human resources to work with the youth teams. They'll all be able to bring a companion, get snacks during the day, a vest for the tryouts, and I think it'll be a very interesting event," analyzed supervisor André Guimarães.
