Hapoel Emek Hefer Basketball Club
Excellence is not a goal. It's a habit.
The Residence
Growing up in good hands
The club's basketball residence is a unique program for young players from all over the country. Players live at the Mevo'ot Yam youth village, study at the Ramot Yam school, and play for the club's top youth teams — all within a support system that lets them grow as athletes without giving up on academics, friends, and a real adolescence.
The residence has produced players who reached the top leagues and Israel's national teams.
