On Thursday, June 8, we welcomed the NBA International Basketball Operations team onsite for a momentous celebration of our collaboration.
A special launch event was held, featuring on-court programming and an exclusive appearance from NBA legend, Joakim Noah.
In his first visit to Costa Navarino, Joakim Noah personally guided participants through training sessions, basketball clinics and an autograph session.
The NBA Basketball School at Costa Navarino, the first-of-its-kind NBA collaboration, combines a world-class coaching program with premium hospitality and FIBA compliant basketball facilities at Navarino Dunes.
We invite young players from 6 to 18 and adults to participate in this special tuition-based basketball development program, available in one, two, three, four, five and six-day camp packages for young players, and daily one-hour programs for adults. All participants will receive an NBA branded T-shirt and the participants who will attend the full School program (5 or 6 days) will receive an NBA Basketball School-branded certificate of attendance. Throughout the program all participants will have the chance to win a range of prizes.
ΝΒΑ Basketball School elite coaches will introduce players to the NBA approach during a comprehensive curriculum that covers on-court training, skill development and basketball education, while highlighting the values of teamwork, integrity and respect.
