The EuroProBasket Euro Professional Program offers aspiring professional players an intensive training and game schedule simulating a professional European basketball season. With over a decade of experience helping players sign with teams, the program provides insider information on European basketball markets, contracts, and agents, equipping players with the keys to success in Europe.
The program runs August to March, covering European pre-season and the regular season. The European season itself runs roughly October to May, and clubs look at players all year: rosters form in pre-season and spots keep opening through the season. From April to June our European Summer League takes over, built for the following season and timed to the opening of the signing period, before clubs make roster decisions.
Participants benefit from exposure to teams, coaches, general managers, scouts, and agents, and gain connections with professional teams across the European continent, including the distinguished Valencia Basket club. Players receive personalized game uniforms, warm-ups, and game film posted on the EuroProBasket YouTube channel, enhancing their visibility to potential teams.
Aspiring professionals learn European rules, systems, concepts, and tactics, and receive an introduction to European coaches, agents, and scouts, preparing them for a professional career in Europe.
Players aged 18 to 33 (with exceptions for high-level 16-17 year olds accompanied by an adult, inquire by email) receive top-tier training, including two practices per day with professional European FIBA-certified coaches and trainers, weight sessions, and highly competitive games. The program also provides access to physiotherapy/medical staff.
We train and play at L’Alqueria del Basket — 13 courts, the largest basketball training facility in Europe, and Valencia Basket’s own home. Two weight rooms, a fully staffed medical clinic, classrooms and a restaurant, all inside the building.
EuroProBasket is partnered with Valencia Basket, a club that competes in the Liga ACB and the EuroLeague — the strongest domestic league and the strongest club competition in world basketball outside the NBA. This is not a gym rented for a few weeks. It is a professional European club’s home, and you train in it every day alongside people who do this for a living.
We have been based here since 2018, and running programs in Spain since 2015. Over 400 players have signed or committed since, across more than 25 countries.
Program Highlights:
The Euro Professional Program is built for players ready to be seen, not players hoping to be discovered.
It fits if:
It is not the right program if:
Two practices a day, games every week, at L’Alquería del Basket — home of Valencia Basket, our official partners.
Three weeks gets you seen. Twelve weeks gets you ready.
The longer you stay, the more time you have to adapt to the European game — the spacing, the rules, the refereeing, all of it different from what you grew up on. More practices means more chance to actually change something in your game rather than just show what you already had. More games means more film for your highlight. And it gives us more time to find you the right fit, instead of the first fit.
Recent signings, all through EuroProBasket:
Over 400 EuroProBasket players have signed contracts or committed to universities.
Your film goes to clubs and agents across Europe, and introductions get made to the coaches and scouts who already know us. What happens next is the club’s decision — EuroProBasket is a platform, and takes no commission on our players going to teams, giving both the player and the team a competitive advantage.
What the program guarantees is the thing most players never get: being watched, on a European court, competing against European teams, and scouted by people who sign players.
Straight answers about EuroProBasket’s Euro Professional Program in Valencia, Spain — length, ages, what is included, visas, and what happens when a club shows interest.
The Euro Professional Program runs in 3, 6, 9 and 12-week blocks — 20, 40, 60 or 80 training days. It operates across two European windows: an August-to-December pre-season block, and a January-to-March block covering Europe’s second signing period. Longer blocks give more clubs more chances to see you play.
Players must be between 18 and 33 years old. EuroProBasket makes occasional exceptions for high-level 16 and 17-year-olds who are accompanied by an adult. Younger players are directed to EuroProBasket’s Junior Programs, run in collaboration with Valencia Basket.
Every block includes two practices a day with professional FIBA-certified coaches, competitive games against professional and semi-professional teams, game film, weight sessions, personalised game uniforms, and direct introductions to European coaches, agents and scouts. On accommodation-inclusive options a hotel stay in shared rooms with breakfast is also included. Players are taught European rules, systems and how the professional market works.
Cost depends on two things: how long you stay — 3, 6, 9 or 12 weeks — and whether you choose the option that includes hotel accommodation and breakfast. Current pricing for each option is listed in the Prices section of this page. For a quote covering your specific dates, contact EuroProBasket.
Yes. Once registration and payment are complete, EuroProBasket provides an official invitation letter and a Spanish invoice (factura) confirming the program you have paid for, the accommodation and the dates. You submit those with your own documents when applying in your home country. Requirements depend on your citizenship, so check with your local Spanish consulate.
No. EuroProBasket never guarantees a player a team or a contract. What the program guarantees is exposure — during your stay you are seen by more European coaches, managers, agents and scouts than at any previous point in your career. EuroProBasket has placed over 400 players with their first overseas teams, but whether a club makes an offer depends on your level, basketball IQ, experience, work ethic and attitude.
