Mifal HaPais notified the league administration of the termination of the "court time" project agreement that brings children to the basketball courts • According to Mifal HaPais, the move is due to the union's demand * Frenkel: "I did not think I would reach this day"


Yesterday (Wednesday), Mifal HaPais notified the Basketball Super League Administration of the termination of the "Field Time" project agreement, in which Mifal HaPais and the league director brought thousands of children from the periphery to the Premier League basketball games.

The CEO of Mifal HaPais explicitly wrote in his letter that he was terminating the contract following a letter he received from the CEO of the Basketball Association, Yaakov Ben-Shoshan, who demanded the termination of contact between Mifal HaPais and the principal.

The "Land Time" project has been running for three years.

As part of the project, the director of the Premier League brought tens of thousands of children from all over Israel to the Premier League games.

For the vast majority of kids, it was their first time playing basketball.

The immediate losers from the conduct of the basketball association are the thousands of Israeli children, most of them from the periphery, who will no longer have the league director and the lottery bring them to enjoy dozens of games in the basketball super league - the top basketball leagues in Europe.

Shmuel Frenkel, chairman of the board, said: “There are no words to express my sorrow that thousands of children from the south, north and all over the country will not be coming to the basketball Premier League games next season due to an unfortunate and vengeful act by the basketball association.

Every child, parent, player, coach, and all basketball fans across the country must know today that the basketball association acted deliberately against the children of the periphery, against their access to basketball in the Premier League, against the good of Israeli basketball, and against sports culture in general.

This is a shameful day for the basketball industry in Israel.

"After a year of peaks in the basketball Premier League, and wonderful performances by the league teams in Europe, I did not think I would reach such a day."

The basketball association's response: "According to the decision of the basketball association's management, the management of the Premier League returns to the association immediately.

The letter did not call on Mifal Hapayis to stop the project, but to contact the association that is the regulator of basketball in Israel. "

Were we wrong?

Fixed!
