Residential
Summer Camp
A week of constraints-based basketball learning for players and coaches on Italy’s Adriatic coast.
- Players
- €950
- Coaches
- €899
Per person · Six nights, meals and training included
A week of constraints-based learning.
Every session is built around competitive small-sided games. Our coaches shape the games and practice conditions so players explore solutions, make their own decisions and learn to read what the game is telling them — on and off the court.
The Transforming coaching team
Alex Sarama will not attend the 2027 camp in person because of his WNBA schedule. The week is led by Transforming clinicians he has selected, who coach both the player and coach programs.
