SUMMER 2023:
THE TOUR (EASTCOAST, USA)
We wanted to celebrate our 5th year anniversary in a BIG way… and that we did! The 2023 program took us down the east coast of the U.S. beginning in Rhode Island, then Georgia and finished up in Florida. To saw it was an adventure would be an understatement! Our stay included the beach, the city, and beautiful lake towns. It also included tough, gridiron competition and a lot of beautiful memories, friendships and experiences that are sure to last a lifetime.

SUMMER 2021:
SUMMER PREP (VALENCIA)
Determined to continue offering our players the best opportunities to enhance their game and reach their maximum, we offer another shorter version of SUMMER PREP in the incredible facilities of l\’Alqueria de Basket in Valencia, Spain. During a 7-day stay, the boys participated in a tournament where we were finalists in the Cadet 2nd year category, and sub-finalists in the Junior 1st and 2nd year categories. We also did daily training during the week including physical preparation with strength tests to offer the boys a complete evaluation at the end of Prep. For many it was the first time that they trained and played in the best basketball facilities in Europe and they did not fail us — even the accommodation and food, everything was great!
SUMMER 2020: SUMMER PREP (BARCELONA)
When the pandemic started we were very determined not to let basketball stop. Motivated by our commitment to our players and the trust of their parents, we set up an experience based on the individual development of the player in very difficult times that we all had to experience beginning March 2020. The first SUMMER PREP ACADEMY was born where almost 30 boys lived together at the Universitat Autonoma of Barcelona for 3 weeks in July 2020 and trained up to 5 hours a day. Along with training, the boys did gym sessions, important group dynamics activities and also participated in personalized English classes according to their level. In addition, the program included a MEDIA DAY with a professional photo session so that everyone can take home some photographic memories. SUMMER PREP helped the boys return to the court more prepared, stronger and without discouragement after losing their previous season.
SUMMER 2019
SPAIN ELITE, ORLANDO (FL)
We couldn\’t have asked for a better second edition of our US SUMMER PROGRAM project. With new participants and returning players, the 2019 program was once again unique. SPAIN ELITE expanded to two teams (18u and 16u) and, in addition, the talent grew even more. At the International Championships, we competed to the very end and lost in the final by 2 points to a very competitive and physical team from Chicago. The transformation of 2018 and 2019 was very evident as our players arrived much more prepared to compete. Off the court, we continue to add new experiences, visit new colleges, and do more group activities. Some of our players have already received offers to travel and study in the US, and we are excited to see what else awaits them!
SUMMER 2018:
SPAIN ELITE, ORLANDO (FL)
We launched our first international project based on Spanish boys\’ basketball. A select group of talented athletes with high potential and high ambition took part in their first taste of American competition on American soil. Over the course of nearly two weeks, the players competed in one of the highest regarded tournaments in the country during the summer months. They were also able to take campus tours of a few different universities and got to enjoy some of Florida\’s most popular attractions. For those players who hope to one day be able to study and play in the U.S. it was an eye-opener. A lot of work is to be done but they now have a much better idea of what it takes and what they\’d be up against.
