About the “Future Spike”
In 2016, Eczacıbaşı Sports Club launched a new program called “Future Spike” in collaboration with ES Volleyball for the purpose of expanding its training program for young girls. Through this program, the Club aims at introducing thousands of 6 to 13-year-old girls annually to the culture, spirit and discipline of sports and creating opportunities for the Club to discover and train the eligible future stars among them.
