Elefsina, Exeter, Chalkida, Antioch.

The physical distance between the cities that separated us until recently is enormous. The philosophical distance between our vision for basketball and our way of working is negligible. In fact, they are entirely aligned.

On an important day in our club’s history, we are delighted to announce our collaboration with coach Giorgos Velissarakos and coach Katerina Chatzidaki. We could not be happier to welcome them to our team and city!

Coach Velissarakos, until recently a national-team coach, will work alongside our head coach Michalis Troulis as a mentor and co-creator of our programme’s playing identity. We are excited about the bright future of our athletes, our head coach and our team under his guidance.

Coach Chatzidaki, our area’s foremost basketball representative, comes directly from the Women’s EuroLeague to introduce the latest technological tools into the training and development of all our teams. She will also contribute to our girls’ and boys’ academies with her extensive experience, specialist expertise and love for our city.

Club founding member coach Vangelis Mouzourakis continues in our academies this year. Physical Education and Sport Science graduate Mimis Doukas joins in a specialised role, completing the coaching programme under head coach Michalis Troulis’s supervision.

We are more than proud of our coaches. We can confidently say that our club has one of the best women’s-basketball coaching partnerships in Greece. Soon, we will present the scientific support that will work alongside our coaching team and all our athletes.

Beyond our wonderful events, the time has come to demonstrate wonderful basketball on the court. Stay healthy, and we will see you soon!
