The 8th Edition of the BasketSzał Camp - Koszalin 2026

The TrypućTeam Foundation is proud to continue developing this initiative, which has become a permanent fixture on the summer sports calendar. BasketSzał is more than just a sports camp—it’s a dynamic space for developing young talent and, at the same time, an effective way to promote the region to participants from all over Poland. Approximately 50 children and teenagers aged 9 to 18 will take part in the event. Together with their chaperones and coaches, they will spend a week discovering not only their athletic potential but also the tourist attractions of our region. The camp program includes professional basketball training sessions at the Gwardia Arena, led by a qualified staff under the direction of Michał Trypuć—coach of the Polish youth national team. However, BasketSzał is not just about training in the sports arena. We will also provide many other activities, classes, and events—some of which have already been tried and tested and highly rated by our participants. Some are innovative, which we believe are essential for every athlete’s development and provide additional knowledge, skills, experience, and abilities. In previous editions, these included acting classes with Marcin Borchardt—an actor well-known and beloved by young people—as well as a training session and lecture on nutrition with multiple World Bodybuilding Champion Ark Arni Demidowicz, an inspirational lecture by World Bodybuilding Champion Anna Kucharska-Sobolewska, rhythm workshops with Polish Latin American Dance Champion Kornelia Szałek, a scrimmage with the PZKosz women’s second-division team, mental training sessions, and lectures with a physical therapist. Taking advantage of our proximity to the sea, halfway through the Camp we plan to take a bus to the beach in Mielenko, where we’ll go for a swim in the Baltic Sea and treat all participants to a seaside resort staple—cod fillet with fries. As part of our recovery activities, we’ll also visit the Koszalin Water Park. During the camp, we’ll organize individual competitions, which are eagerly anticipated and loved by the young participants, who prepare for each one with great dedication. Matches between the staff and the participants have already become a tradition. Each time, these are high-level games, accompanied by loud cheering, which bring a lot of joy to the young people and help bring all participants together. We are passionate about creating a space for young people who, through sports, develop their talents and learn perseverance and responsibility.
