Long Beach, CA – August 15, 2011

As part of our contribution back to the community, Elite Talent Exchange (ETE) will sponsor an amateur basketball team, One Piece, here in Southern California.

One Piece Basketball Team was founded in 2005 by a few passionate basketball enthusiasts. Since then, it has grown into a full team of energetic players. Over the past few years, One Piece has participated yearly in many tournaments and leagues in Southern California, and has consistently remained as one of the top teams among the tournaments and leagues that it participated in. It has been six years after the team was first established and none of its players have lost one bit of their initial passion. One Piece is seeking to continue its journey of basketball and to pass on its valuable experience to the new generations.

The connection between ETE and One Piece is almost automatic. ETE thinks that One Piece is the exact embodiment of the ETE values: passionate, energetic and true to their game. Developing the talents and cultivating the new generations have the objectives of ETE as always. Therefore, Elite is proud to be a valued sponsor of One Piece Basketball Team.

From this fall onwards, ETE takes full charge of sponsoring all training, registration, and management fees for One Piece. The team will also gain a venue for their weekly training. One Piece players will be well equipped with jerseys, sports drinks, and all other materials necessary for training and matches. On top of that, in an attempt to further encourage the players, ETE offers to sponsor sneakers for each player who attends training and matches consistently.

It has always been the heart of ETE to help people with real passion. ETE is delighted and holds confident expectations about this new partnership with One Piece. We also look forward to giving back to the community in more ways in the near future.
