Player Camps and Basketball Combines
It’s Showtime!!
Player Camps and Combines are great For Coaches and Teams because you get to see a variety of players perform within two days for the price of one. There are many combine camps in the USA that have hundreds of attendees that want to land a contract for the next season. It can be overwhelming because there are so many players but it’s worth the while.
Basketball Combines like InfoSport Inc usually have camps for men and women around the same time so the coaches can view it all in one trip. If a representative from your league or team comes over to watch you can save a lot of hassle with tapes, player profiles, and other situations.
We will try to list basketball combine camps in the Basketball Portal as often as we receive information.
When players come to play over seas the first crucial thing they think about is playing well and receiving the money promised in the contract. As this is important with any job. Depending on the players contract can determine how and when they are paid. In most cases, Americans are coming to Europe to play basketball and they are normally paid in US Dollars. Since 2001, the EURO has been the main currency in most European countries. The US dollar and Euro are similar but in the market there have been drastic changes.
In any case, the player has to be paid in US Dollars and most banks in Europe give the option of opening an account in US Dollars. This is very important because this helps the player in so many ways and the team as well. The player does not lose any money changing or sending to their own bank. The team can deposit Euros directly into the bank in exchange for US Dollars without a blink. This works in everyone’s favor.
In the biggest countries like France, Spain, Italy, UK, Germany and others it could be possible that the player has a bank in the US which is also in the respective country of team. This is probably one of the greatest solutions for both parties. Opening and closing a bank account in a foreign country is not always easy and the communication barrier for something that is so important can be challenging.
So if possible its best to give this information to your player and administration. Here are a list of the biggest financial banks who have an establishment in Europe and Asia. US Banks Overseas
If you have read here before, you know that it is important to have a basketball profile or resume. Getting your basketball profile together can be easy if you played at your university or club for a long period of time. Also if the organization kept records of each season that you played.
Once you accumulated all of your basketball statistics from your university or club organize it in chronological order by last season played at the beginning. Next, put in words your strengths and weaknesses.
You should then get some type of photograph together, preferrably an action photo. When all of this is complete make sure you have a game tape ready to send off, so when teams and agents contact you. You will be prepared and everything in order.
If you dont have all of those things make sure a solid highlight tape is able. Teams need to see in order to believe what is on paper or online!
