HALL OF FAME
To all of you whose participation brought about a smile, a basket or a teaching point, and who couldn’t fit the limited design spaces. You know who you are.
In a vast sea of great athletes and cool characters that passed through the camp, and there were many, you stood out, whether with sports talent, smarts and jokes or just by being a good friend. You are the ones we talk behind your backs as being cool, how you understand the game, as true friends and good company. We call you Buca, Miki, Nijaz, Anel, Zdravko, Timče, Nina, Milly, Živa, Arijan, Mirjana, Jovana, Bruno, Šejn, Beni, Andrija, Nikola, Conrad, Neša, Ćera, Sava, Ivan, Katarina, Rogo, Balša, Džudo x2 and many other names which fortunately I can’t remember now.
It doesn’t really matter, it is more important to be at the camp than in the album. Just ask me.
What time it is? PLAY time!

Milivoje Jovčić
For most, the best basketball ref in the region. Olympics, World championship finals, you name it - he’s done it! For us, a great friend, lecturer, student of the game - and most importantly, a person who lives in line with our values.

Inspiration and motivation.
Iva Ilić
Modest girl from Koprivnica. Stands out with her great basketball talent and hard work. Currently a student athlete at the Liberty University in the US.

Nataša Kajtaz
Silent, hardworking and committed. A senior national team member of Bosnia and Hercegovina. A law student. Closest thing to Saša Danilović world has ever seen.
Vedran Vlahović
Edgy writer from Križevci. One of the first people who recognized the values and the vision of what we do, and transcribed it into a news article that set the internet on fire. DJ Vector sounds cheesy.
Darko i Žarko
Basketball terriers from Čačak. These clones devour basketball. Coaching revelations of a decade. People say that their Mom can tell them apart, we still don’t belive that.
Dule Ilić & Awaks's
Our workshop leaders and DJ’s. They burn CD’s with lighting speed, drive some old Peugeot, spread positive energy and sometimes wonder on to the basketball courts. They’re not the only ones.

Like a horror movie character, Marija lurks in the shadows! She’s in here so people don’t get the idea we do this all by ourselves.
Tijana Hrkalović
Friend. Waiting for her kid to attend the camp. We’ll be ready.

Bundle of joy. One of the best energies ever encountered, not by us, by anybody. She may be from another planet, but she fits our world perfectly.
Marjan “Max Pain” Jovanović
Serbian howitzer from Bujanovac. Person who’s heart instantly melts away anything and anybody. Best gamer among the coaches and best coach among gamers. Not the best gamer at camp. He only loves basketball more than video games and horror movies.
Michael Kirby
Stayed on the path. He recognized the regional potential of our program when it comes to reconciliation, teamwork and personal development. Wore a hat.

Stefan Hajduković, fanatical energy for basketball. Used to be a good basketball player, now a very successful coach in China. Fortunately, even when he’s not with us in the summer, his enthusiasm and energy remain. Used to shout at the refs. Well, he doesn’t do that anymore.
Daca
Danijela Popović, icebreaker from Banja Luka. Fun and bright, she always manages to cheer up everybody around her, whether experienced campers or first timers. Easy to love and one you can call a true friend. A great basketball player, a Bosnian champion. Future teacher.
Marko Savić
Our strength and conditioning coach and philharmonic conductor when needed. Somehow he makes the hard work look easy. This all smiles guy from Užice is on a temporary work permit in Qatar. Ideal son in law. PE student, good athlete, almost a solid boxer.
Marko Nikolić
Opposite to popular belief, generous guy from Pirot with a big heart. A fighter on the court. Above all, great person and a true friend. After too many years at camp as a player and later assistant coach, now his younger brother Lazar is follwing in his footsteps. Traffic engineering graduate.
Milkica & Vojvodić's
Damjan Vojvodić. Camp name: Milka. Kindest guy in the world and a face that should be on our logo. The boy who makes everybody’s day. A bright kid, whose smile brings joy to everybody at the camp. Just like his older brothers, Nikola and Andrija did. Revenged his grandfather against the U.S. Embassy team.
Nemanja Danilović
Still with us.
Bojan Radun
Our true friend and support from the beginning. There should be more Russians like him.

With us from the begging. Miljan’s dad. Gordana’s husband. A philosopher coach.
Dan Tana
Football player. Filmmaker. Camper. He owns a pub, so he fits right in.
Stefan Stojačić
Poster boy of our value system. When he’s not making robots, he plays basketball, well. Defeated Steph Curry in the finals. Basketball player. Lawyer. Engineer.
Bojana Nikolić
Basketball player form Paraćin. What more can one ask for? Ok, she is also a model, and an award winning economist.
