Yes. I was going to give you a link to the wikipedia article about AEL but the guy who wrote it probably used Babel Fish for the translation. :roll: Here is a sample.

AEL is from the founding members of Cyprus Basketball Federation. With coach one of the schoolteachers of the sport in Cyprus, Michalaki Nikolaidi, the AEL began coward-coward with the beginning of official championships in 1967.


:lol: :lol: Anyways, AEL is the top basketball team in Cyprus. Last year they were undefeated at home in their European games and passed to the top 8 teams of FIBA Europe by beating teams like Virtus Bologna of Italy and Estudiantes of Spain.

Thank you for the information Sotos. But I have one big problem. I have sent emails to 4 AEL websites I think and no one is responding.
I really want to start training but I cant contact the club to get the information when does training start and such . They are not checking their emails or what?

Welcome to Cyprus ;) Many do not check their emails here! You should just call them to find out where they train and then go there personally to show them what you got. Did you play in other teams before?

kind of :P i was playing for my last school but i didnt have the time to play for a specialised team. Although I think I have the skills needed to be a basketball player and the persistance to improve in every part of the game. And I dont know who to call and where to go.
