School partnerships
We bring basketball to your school. Our coaches collect the children, run the session and bring them back. Parents arrange nothing, and the school does not need to staff it.

We bring basketball to your school. Our coaches collect the children, run the session and bring them back. Parents arrange nothing, and the school does not need to staff it.
Plenty of children would love basketball and never get near it. The club is across town and training starts before a parent gets off work.
So we come to the school. Our coaches collect the children from the school door, run the session and bring them back. The children get the same coaches and the same method as our own club teams. Those who catch the bug can carry on into our club teams and camps.
When we started running sessions at Strandvejsskolen on Østerbro, the program filled to forty children with five more waiting. Over the same spring our under-13 group went from a handful of players to more than thirty.
Since 2025, Østerbro
Strandvejsskolen is the home of our Mini and Junior programs. Training runs in the school gym at Sionsgade 1, so the children stay in the building they already know.
We also run sessions with the school's SFO, and our coaches collect the children from SFO before training. This is where the model started.
From September 2026
ISH High School trains Thursdays, 17:00 to 19:00 at Svanemøllehallen, alongside our own U15 and U17 squads at Svanemøllehallen, Østerbrogade 240. English on the floor, beginners and advanced both welcome, and extra training days for anyone who wants them. Nicoline has the ISH rate. The first session is free: come any Thursday in trainers with water.
Our ISH Primary School program is being re-planned for 26/27. We publish the new day and venue once it is locked. Email nicoline@talatabasketball.dk to hear first.
2019 to 2024, Vilnius, Lithuania
Before Talata was a club in Copenhagen it was a basketball program inside a school in Lithuania. Deng was head of the academy at The British School of Vilnius and built the program there from nothing over five years.
It started with the youngest children and grew year by year up to the mid-teens. Lessons, team practices, exhibitions, league fixtures and competitions against other schools. The signed agreements run through to 2024.
The school has since moved to a new campus and the program runs well without us. We are on good terms and the door is open. If a school elsewhere wants a basketball program built from the ground up, this is our blueprint.
Program partner
Our school trainings run in collaboration with DGI. Their support lets us put qualified coaches into schools without asking the schools to fund it.
We are building more school partnerships in Copenhagen for the coming year. If you want basketball at your school, write to us and we come and talk about it.
Nicoline runs school partnerships.
