Girona Basketball and Frit Ravich are joining forces to launch the “Feeding Your English with Frit Ravich” program, an initiative designed to improve the English skills of players from the U15 to U18 teams. This program, which was launched last October, will run until April with the aim of involving around 120 boys and girls.

“Feeding Your English with Frit Ravich” will have the support of the brand to “feed the English of the youngest” and remind people of the importance of practicing a foreign language for their personal and professional future. Throughout the season, the U15 to U18 teams will be able to voluntarily participate in weekly English classes, as well as in meetings with players from the first team of Bàsquet Girona and players from Uni Girona .

In addition to the sponsorship of the English program, Frit Ravich will strengthen its visibility at the points of sale in the Fontajau pavilion during the matches, thus contributing to create a dynamic and attractive atmosphere for the fans.

As a kick-off to the program, a special meeting was organized, where participants in the program ” Feeding Your English with Frit Ravich ” had the opportunity to get to know two players from the first team of Bàsquet Girona : Mindaugas Sušinskas and Nike Sibande.

During the session, participants heard anecdotes, such as how both players have achieved a maximum score of 36 points in a game. They also shared their satisfaction with being part of Bàsquet Girona , highlighting the excellent atmosphere among teammates and the affection they receive from the city and the fans. Interestingly, both players started playing basketball almost by chance.

Mindaukaus Sûsinskas stressed the importance of English in the world of basketball, stating: “English is very important because it is a global sport. The best players and coaches are from the US, so you need to master the language to communicate and understand yourself with them. ” For his part, Nike Sibande added: “ It is essential to communicate with your teammates and understand yourself on the court.”

Sibande also encouraged them to come to Fontajau on Sunday to support the team “the fans are very important in the key moments and the impact your support can have on the performance of the players is also”.

The next in-person meeting will be a special class conducted by Frit Ravich focused on nutrition. This session will include a talk on nuts as part of a healthy diet for athletes. The season will culminate with an in-person class in Fontajau with a player and a player from Bàsquet Girona and Uni Girona , where participants will be able to apply what they have learned during the course.

Patricia Viñals , head of sponsorships at Bàsquet Girona , commented: “ We are very happy to welcome Frit Ravich as the Club’s new partner. This collaboration will not only improve the language skills of our young players, but also contribute to the comprehensive growth of our athletes .”

For her part, Maria Saló , Director of People and Culture at Frit Ravich , added: “at Frit Ravich we have a purpose, We feed moments of life, and this means that we work to contribute to the well-being and growth of people through our actions.
