‘I want to bring the full basketball lifestyle & culture to Sweden. I want to bring the basketball opportunities to the Swedish players.’
- Elliot
Having spent a lot of time in the Swedish basketball world & compared it with what we have in the US, there is so much we can do in Sweden. One of the main things is to bring the American play style there and teach the players, so when the players come here to the US to play, they are ready.
The basketball culture in the US is so much more than just the time on the court. It is a lifestyle and has its own culture. ‘AAU’ is a large part of that culture, and with that a large part of what we want to bring to Sweden and to the Swedish players.
Team Cadeau is more than an ‘AAU’ organization. It is a movement, a movement toward development, international exposure, opportunity & inclusivity.
Presenting TCM TEAM CADEAU mokan - the first ‘AAU’ organization for European players.
