The raise up team around Niners players Malte Ziegenhagen and Mary Ann Mihalyi wants to help children and young people between 8 and 15 years to become even better in their sport. To this end, they have been organizing training camps during the summer holidays since 2018 and this year for the first time during the winter holidays and publish videos with tips on specific basketball skills.

At the moment, only Chemnitz can enjoy the training, but the aim of the Raise up Academy is to pass on its expert knowledge to children from all over Germany.

With the micro-project funding, the team was able to open a project room on the Sonnenberg, which is to serve as a contact point for all kids from the Raise up Academy.
