HBA-Märsky is a Finnish basketball club, administrated by the Helsinki Basketball Academy. Their home arena is in URHEA Campus in Mäkelänrinne, Vallila, Helsinki, which also serves as the National Olympic Training Center.
Helsinki Basketball Academy
Helsinki Basketball Academy is a joint program of the Finnish Basketball Association and Helsinki-based schools Mäkelänrinteen lukio [fi] (Mäkelänrinne Sports High School; nicknamed Märsky) and Pohjois-Haagan yhteiskoulu [fi] (PHYK). PHYK operates with teens aged 13–15 where they advance to Märsky high school program. In 2022, a new training center was opened in Pirkkola Sports Park, Pirkkola, Helsinki, which is located near the PHYK school of Pohjois-Haaga.
The HBA program was created in 2011, with a strong influence by Henrik Dettmann, and started in 2012. The aim of the program is to develop young Finnish talented basketball players aged 13–19 to an international level for Finnish national teams, by providing year round professional coaching and education.
HBA-Märsky has teams for both boys/men and girls/women. The club's men's team competes in the Finnish second-tier Koripallon I-divisioona and its women's team plays in top-tier Naisten Korisliiga.
