... because reality goes far beyond our mind. Moreover, just because something cannot be seen, it does not mean it does not exist. In short—A basketball inspired by you, one day at a time. To make in English translates to create, shaping and combining materials to make a work of art.

This is probably all you need to know about us. Anything different would sound like we were pretending to be something we’re not, answering questions you didn’t even ask. We may not look like a basketball organization, think like a basketball organization, or behave like a basketball organization—but that’s only because we were never interested in being a basketball organization. We created BTA because we wanted to make a difference.

We never just talk about basketball—we talk about life. We believe basketball is life and the court is an extension of one’s existence. Through the “streets” of sport, cultures meet, ideas are built, and languages merge. We are changing the way the basketball world moves. Changing the future of basketball, especially in Italy, means having the courage to think differently. Our goal is to change the way the world thinks, sees, and “feels” basketball. Be part of this future in motion. Never settle for mediocrity, never give up, never abandon your hopes and dreams. Certainly easier said than done—but we invite you to come and meet us. Words gain credibility when actions provide certainty.

BTA is a step toward the world of great basketball. Open to all who wish to follow a unique path to success. In a complex world, the ability to look ahead, navigate, and seize opportunities may seem like a gift. At BTA, everything we have experienced and learned is distilled into the certainty of action. Our instinct, competence, and efforts are your advantage. In an era of upheaval where old standard models vanish and fail, we are your sports academy.

To those who have always believed in the way we see the game and went beyond the ordinary, to our first friend who called to give advice and to those who still do. To those who simply said “well done,” to those who criticized us and helped us grow, to those who finally said something that made us feel a bit special. To those who opened their home/life to let us take a photo and to the entire staff who daily wrestles with new techniques and hidden challenges behind the game. To those who know a great, true coach makes the difference, and to those who believe the game goes beyond the simplicity of the court… thank you.

We’ve also found another way to enjoy the sport we love so much—through the eyes of the players, capturing video or images of them in action that tell the story. We tell a story that will never die … but will inspire.
