Worldwide Basketball Tryouts
Many basketball players come to the website searching for basketball tryouts in a particular state or country. In most cases there aren’t many professional basketball tryouts for overseas teams. There are several exposure camps that cater to several agents and a few teams who are local. However, most players are contracted and during the first two weeks, both the basketball player and the club can decide whether they would like to continue or not.
It is a type of tryout and players are compensated and if both sides agree, payment will go out as planned in the contract. So most players expecting a tryout like a high school tryout, it is not the case at all. Your basketball agent will have to find a club and then get you a “tryout”. That will be your chance to shine and prove yourself.
In the states, there are a number exposure camps, tryouts and pro-ams that will help you move forward.
Your questions have been answered in the definitive guide to Playing Basketball Overseas. Join the newsletter and you will receive the 29 page report that explains how to get started and other tips that I think everyone will enjoy

How can i get to play overseas basketball when i come out of high school, because thats what i plan on doing, i need a brief explanation of the process
Q | April 23rd, 2008 at 2:02 #
Honestly because of your status in high school some teams/coaches may not know a thing about you. So I recommend going to some exposure camps where scouts can evaluate you.
Good luck

Asking if your professional basketball program give 35 and up year old b-baller players with skills, a chance to tryout in your program. Or if you know any other programs besides yours that work with players with my age range.
daniel kanelous | May 25th, 2008 at 22:22 #
I would like to know of any of these exposure camps are in florida and if so can some one tell me the the location and the leagues name.

I was trying to find out all the requirements for trying out for an overseas team.
Q | June 30th, 2008 at 21:21 #
Well, the minimum is to have played organized basketball, preferably college/university. After that some type of video or highlights demonstrating your skills + stats. After that hiring an agent to work for you.

Nicholas Lovelace | October 27th, 2009 at 22:22 #
I am a 22 years old and I have a passion for the game of basketball. I’m from a little town called Evergreen, Alabama. A place where young, athletic, men and women are never noticed. I played for a high school where I help to lead to becoming 4-A state champions. I never made it to college and was asked to play for a couple of community colleges. My grades weren’t good enough. I just want a chance to become that professional basketball player I have always wanted to be. How do I go about the process to be found and at least given a chance. Please contact me if possible. Thanks and God bless.
