Helsinki Basketball Academy
Helsinki Basketball Academy is a joint program of the Finnish Basketball Association and Helsinki-based schools Mäkelänrinne Upper Secondary Sports School (nicknamed Märsky) and Pohjois-Haagan yhteiskoulu (PHYK).[1] In 2022, a new training center was opened in Pirkkola Sports Park, Pirkkola, Helsinki, which is located near the PHYK school of Pohjois-Haaga.[2]
The HBA program was created in 2011, with a strong influence by Henrik Dettmann,[3][4] and started in 2012. The aim of the program is to develop young Finnish talented basketball players aged 13–19 to an international level for Finnish national teams, by providing year round professional coaching and education.[5][6][7][8]
HBA-Märsky has teams for both boys/men and girls/women.[9] The club's men's team competes in the Finnish second-tier Koripallon I-divisioona and its women's team plays in top-tier Naisten Korisliiga.
