We represented Israel in the European three-on-three basketball championship held in Rijeka Croatia and finished 11th out of 24 teams.
The Ruppin Academic Center continues its tradition and competes every year with one of the top three places in ASA. We compete with large universities, private institutions and the College of Physical Education (Wingate). Despite our modest size and sport budgets, this does not prevent us from continuing to try and win every competition until we become the champions of ASA.
As a result of winning the league this year, we will be able to represent Israel in the European Soccer Championships for Girls, if the budget allows it.
This year we opened the project of registration of volleyball team players in cooperation with the Volleyball Association. Fortunately, we were able to add six team players - Ortal Oren, Sophie Strikov, Tamar Stein, Sean Kessel, Amir Dahan and Sean Faigeh.
