On Sunday, December 3, 2023, a youth mini-basketball tournament took place, featuring talented teams from the Zlín region and beyond. A total of 28 teams from 14 clubs from the Czech Republic and Slovakia took part in the St. Nicholas tournament.
One of the main sponsors of the tournament, which has been held since 2019 under the auspices of the sports association Holiday CUP Zlín, was the CREAM group. The company not only supported the event, but also prepared packages with various sports items for the participants.
The program was further enriched by the traditional visit of St. Nicholas, the devil and the angel. Each child received a medal and a St. Nicholas gift after the tournament.
The St. Nicholas Tournament is aimed at children aged 7 to 10 years and its main objective is to support this age group. The tournament is unique in that it emphasizes not only handball competition, but also skill competitions. Since it is not played for a score, every participant feels like a winner. This approach promotes team spirit and skill development in young athletes.
