• Please note that it is necessary to provide a link to one of your recent basketball posts.
• After filling in all the fields of the application, it must be sent by clicking the Apply button again. Make sure that the confirmation of registration of the application has been sent to the e-mail address you specified (it is not a confirmation of accreditation).
