What Makes Our Academy Development Program Unique?

Our training is based on the legendary Yugoslavian basketball system, which has produced over 50 NBA players and dozens of Euroleague champions. We combine that tradition with modern coaching and sports science to create a powerful development platform. Our small-group approach ensures every player gets focused attention, and with 30–40 recorded games each season, we give you real exposure—on film and on the court. We don’t just teach basketball—we build careers.
