Women's Overseas Basketball Program

How women play professional basketball overseas

Women play professional basketball overseas by being seen playing — not at a one-day tryout, but over weeks of training and real games in front of the people who decide. That is what the EuroProBasket Women’s Professional Program is: three weeks, twenty days, every September and every January in Valencia, Spain — the next editions run 10–30 January 2027 and 5–25 September 2027. Two sessions a day, games against Spanish club teams, and competitive game film that goes directly to clubs.

Far more women sign professional contracts overseas each year than are ever drafted into the WNBA. Overseas women’s basketball is a real career, and most of it is played in Europe.

Who this is for

Women aged 18 to 33 — players finishing college, players already playing professionally who want a stronger position in the European market, and players who simply cannot get seen from home.

You do not need an agent to come. A lot of our players arrive without one and leave with one, because agents come through Valencia to watch these games.

Where you train

You train at L’Alqueria del Basket — thirteen courts, 15,000 m², the largest basketball training facility in Europe, and the official facility of Valencia Basket, whose women’s team plays in the Liga Femenina Endesa and EuroLeague Women.

Because of that, professional basketball comes through the building all year. WNBA coaches, scouts and general managers. EuroLeague team representatives and agents. National teams. NCAA Division I programs.

We get visits during the program, and that is what makes training here different from training at home.

Where you live, and who with

An edition is usually a full team, so you arrive into a squad rather than into a room of strangers.

Accommodation is a choice you make when you register — with hotel or without. Take it and you stay eight minutes’ walk from the courts at the B&B Hotel Valencia Ciudad de las Ciencias, sharing with other women in the program, with breakfast, air conditioning and Wi-Fi. A single room is available for an additional fee if you ask in advance.

Players make their own way in from the airport by taxi, Uber or Cabify. A supermarket is around the corner, and the city centre and the beach are minutes away. Most of our players do not need a visa; if you do, we provide an invitation letter once you have registered, and there is an inexpensive medical insurance option you can sign up for yourself.

Who you train with

Sessions are run by fully professional, international, FIBA and nationally certified coaches — and there is always at least one woman on staff.

Alongside the basketball you are taught European rules, systems and tactics, and how the European market, agents and contracts actually work. That is the part most players arrive without.

If you get injured

Tell us straight away. There is a full medical facility and medical staff inside L’Alqueria, so you are seen on site and your training is adjusted so you can keep working without making it worse.

Where our women have signed

Women who came through this program have signed in Spain, Portugal, Kosovo, the United Kingdom, Italy and Croatia, and they are still signing. In most editions more than one player signs, and more again go on tryouts with clubs.

Gemima Motema and Daeja Quick both signed for the 2026-27 season. Taneka Rubin signed in Portugal, and a Portuguese club signed her multiple years in a row through our contacts. Getting the first contract is the hard part; being kept is what tells you the first one was real. Every player we have placed has her own page on this site.

EuroProBasket earns no commission when a player signs. We do not guarantee any player a team. We guarantee the opportunity — the gym, the games, the film, and exposure to our contacts at clubs across Europe. Since 2015 more than 400 EuroProBasket players have signed contracts or committed to universities across more than 25 countries.
