'Bouncing for Good', the community initiative by Motorola and Euroleague Basketball’s One Team program, officially kicked off its second season yesterday with the first event of the year at Primary School King Aleksandar I in Belgrade, a school located in an area with kids and families coming from different social and cultural backgrounds.
The event brought together children from the local school for an afternoon of learning, creativity, and basketball, guided by One Team coaches and the ambassadors from Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade, Mario Nakic, Mitar Bosnjakovic and Uros Mijailovic, and Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade’s, Chima Moneke, Devonte Graham and Stefan Miljenovic. The session combined education, teamwork and fun, using the power of sport and technology to teach important life values.
Throughout the afternoon, participants aged 8 to 12 enjoyed a variety of interactive activities:
- Welcome and introduction, where children received event T-shirts and learn about the goals of Bouncing for Good.
- Kahoot quiz and team challenges that promote collaboration, inclusion, and basketball values.
- Memory and creative games to encourage focus and cooperation.
- Perfect Ball painting, where children design and decorate basketballs inspired by what they have learned.
- The day concluded with a donation ceremony, where the EuroLeague stars helped hand out 100 basketballs and signed jerseys to all participants.
The celebration finished with a fun basketball session, autograph signing, and group photo to capture the moment.
"We’re proud to start this new season of Bouncing for Good here in Belgrade," said Daniela Idi, Marketing Director at Motorola EMEA. "This initiative brings together technology, creativity, and sport to inspire children and strengthen local communities. Serbia’s basketball heritage makes it the perfect place to launch this year’s activities - showing how innovation and teamwork can create something truly meaningful."
"Basketball has given me so much, and events like this remind me why I fell in love with the game," said Chima Moneke of Crvena Zvezda Meridianbet Belgrade. "Seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces and how they connect through creativity and teamwork — that’s what the sport is all about."
Mario Nakic of Partizan Mozzart Bet Belgrade added: "It’s important for us players to give back and show the next generation that basketball is not only about competition but about helping each other grow. These moments can spark dreams that last a lifetime."
The “Perfect Ball”, created by the children and later painted by a local artist, will be presented during an upcoming EuroLeague game in Belgrade, symbolizing how basketball and creativity can unite and empower communities.
