Advanced Drills & Games

A high-intensity Saturday session for experienced players. This session is 30 minutes of advanced half-court training followed by 30 minutes of competitive full-court scrimmage. This session is not beginner-friendly. To get the most out of it, you should have experience playing in formal competitions and a strong working knowledge of basketball fundamentals and game sense.

Gay Games Valencia players: If you're registered for the Gay Games in Valencia, you are encouraged to join regardless of skill level. This is a great opportunity to train together and build chemistry ahead of the tournament. Just be prepared: the drills will still be advanced and the intensity will be high.
