Vladimir Zanev
Coach
Vladimir Zanev is a FIBA international basketball referee and conditioning coach. He holds a degree from the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports Science of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH) with a major in Basketball.
He played basketball at the play maker position until junior/senior age with success in Bulgaria and Greece. He then transitioned into track and field and mid-long distance running as he assessed that in his favorite sport, basketball, he could help more as a coach.
While still a student at the Greek Sports Academy, he began coaching children at various basketball and track and field schools in Thessaloniki. Shortly after, in 2009, he also became a basketball referee to learn the rules better.
After moving to live in Cyprus he remained only a referee as there it is not allowed to combine coaching with refereeing, which led to him becoming an international referee in 2017.
Since then, alongside refereeing, he has concentrated on conditioning training mainly for athletes but not exclusively

The Jam International Basketball Camp invites you to The JAM Summer Camp “Factory for talents”
Every kid is tested with high-technology equipment for their vertical jump (contact mat), speed (speed gates), and agility (blazepod system). We rate them and give them a rank from 1 to 10, on which they can win The Jam Cup and individual awards. At the end of the camp, we give feedback that can be used in future training to improve their skills. We have skills challenge testing, shooting testing, and a 3-point competition that will rank every participant in their technical skills.
Here is a list of some of the tests that every kid goes through and the knowledge that they will aquire:
- Speed gate test – we are testing our campers with a photocell technology in a 20m sprint, change of direction speed (value $100)
- Contact mat testing – checking the vertical jump with our system (value $100)
- Grip strength test – testing the grip strength with a grip meter (value $30)
