Testimonials & Success Stories
"I've attended training camps in Europe before, but this one was the best. The coaching was on another level, and I learned how to read the game better. I even got interest from a prep school in California after the camp showcase. We also attended the NBA summer league in Las Vegas. I was able to meet NBA players and scouts."
"Coming to the U.S. was a dream. The coaches pushed me hard, but they cared. Now, I'm playing in a prep academy thanks to the IBA."
"My son improved so much in just two weeks, but more than that—he matured. The international atmosphere made it even better. We felt fully supported with his travel and stay."
