Basketball tour questions
Something not covered here? Send us a request and we reply within office hours.
Which teams can join a basketball tour?
Our basketball tours in Italy are for youth teams, clubs, academies, schools, coaches and sports agencies. Tell us the age group, the level and the number of travellers in your request and we adapt the programme to your team.
Do we play against Italian teams?
Yes. The in-season packages are built around friendly games and tournaments, arranged with our network of clubs and matched to the level of your team. Off-season camps include a competition at the end of the camp.
What does a typical day look like?
It depends on the package. A basketball day usually combines a training session or a game with time to discover the city, and a team dinner. In the Dolomites camp, days are built around daily training, recovery and team activities.
When is the best time for a basketball tour in Italy?
It depends on your goals. From August to May you can play friendly games and tournaments while the Italian season is running. In June and July you can use the summer to train and prepare the new season with a camp in the Dolomites.
What is included in a basketball tour package?
Our packages cover accommodation, meals, all ground transportation, insurance, a bilingual supervisor available 24/7, leisure activities, cultural experiences, and international matches and tournaments. The exact services for your team are written in your proposal.
Can we choose the cities?
Yes. The route in a package is an example: any Italian base city can be organised, and we adapt dates, cities and activities to your team.
How much does a basketball tour to Italy cost?
The price depends on the size of the group, the length of the trip and the cities. Send us the age group, the number of travellers and the period: you receive a written proposal with programme, cities and prices, with no commitment.
