Ramadan Cup: My first experience as a BE Basketball coach!

As a coach, there's nothing more exciting than stepping into a new environment filled with passionate young athletes eager to learn and compete. This Ramadan, I, Coach Mohammed Ratoul, had the privilege of joining BE BASKETBALL Academy, and what better way to start than with the Ramadan Cup, an event that truly embodies the spirit of basketball and community!

Every Saturday during Ramadan, the Ramadan Cup brings together young players for intense 3-on-3 matchups. From the moment I stepped onto the court, I could feel the energy and determination in the air. The tournament format is fantastic, fast paced, competitive, and structured like an official 3x3 tournament, giving the kids the perfect opportunity to challenge themselves and elevate their game. For me, this was a great experience. Watching these kids push themselves, adapt to new challenges, and grow as players was inspiring. Honestly, I was surprised by the amount of games they played in just one morning!

What made this Ramadan Cup even more special was the presence of Anyon, a professional Basketball player from South Sudan who has competed in the US and Canada. He wasn’t just there to watch, he was actively involved, guiding, and answering every question the kids threw at him. Seeing them engage with him, eager to absorb every piece of advice, reminded me of why I love coaching.

Moments like these can shape a young athlete’s journey in ways they don’t even realize yet. Another aspect I really appreciate about the Ramadan Cup is how accessible we, as coaches, are to the players. Throughout the tournament, they had the chance to ask us anything about basketball, training, mindset, and beyond. That’s what BE BASKETBALL is all about: not just training athletes but building a family where every player feels supported and motivated to be their best.

If you’re looking for a place where your child can develop real basketball skills, compete in a dynamic environment, and learn from experienced coaches and professionals, BE BASKETBALL is the place to be! Whether they’re aiming to take their game to the next level or just want to experience the joy of basketball, this is where it happens.

Trust me, after seeing the impact firsthand, I wish I had something like this when I was younger!

Don’t wait, join BE BASKETBALL today and be part of something special. We’re building the future of basketball, one player at a time.
