Maxibasketball
From Hoopedia
Maxibasketball is the last basketball category. It starts at 30 years old in women and at 35 in men. The category is divided into sub-categories of five years of age each (i.e., 35 to 40, 40 to 45, etc.). The players are middle-aged and older people who want to continue doing sports and practicing basketball actively. The practice ends (for now) with the 70 years old category for men.
The International Maxibasketball Federation, FIMBA, is the governing organization of Maxibasketball.
The Maxibasketball category is a space for high-performance competition for each age group, once the time of high competition is over. Thousands of players around the world show the advantages of the sport continuity for improving the quality of life in maturity. They rise as examples for the youth, and show others new ways to avoid the damages from sedentarism, smoking, and drugs.
