The ULRICHSHOF gets a basket

An orange ball, a basket and an appropriate height – that’s what you associate with basketball. But certainly not small children. Louis Keber wants to change that. The passionate basketball player, who is working at the Baby & Kinder Bio-Resort ULRICHSHOF until he starts his studies, is offering free taster training there. “I work as an animator in childcare and am responsible for all kinds of sports, such as playing football and archery, among other things. But my personal passion is basketball. I therefore wanted to get the children in the hotel interested in this sport.”

With his wish, Louis turned to his club colleague Wolfgang Zierl, department head of ASV Cham Basketball. “When I heard about Louis’ idea, I was immediately enthusiastic and assured him of my support. Since we have a mobile basket unit in the club, I gave it to him so that he could set it up in the ULRICHSHOF.” The special feature of this mobile unit: the basket height can be lowered. This gives children more of a chance to have the sense of achievement of a hit shot. “It’s really fun – and fun is the most important thing in sport,” Louis is convinced.
