The Pro Summer Camp in Basketball City Mainhattan, hosted by Europes largest players agency Court Side and the OPEL SKYLINERS, ended success- fully on Sunday evening.
All participants were also pleased with the organization of the international Coach Clinic, that was held by Court Side, the OPEL SKYLINERS and the German Basketball Federation.
Court Side President Dejan Vidicki: "We were very happy working together with the OPEL SKYLINERS and the German Basketball Federation. They did a wonderful job. I`m positive that we will have another Court Side Camp in Frankfurt next year."
To gain more interest among Coaches of the 1st and 2nd German Basketball Division, Court Side thinks of integrating more young german players into the Camp.
"Maybe we could form a german team, that would be very interesting. It would also be interesting for the OPEL SKYLINERS, who run one of the best youth programms in Europe, the Basketball Academy Rhein-Main."
This year 87 players from 18 countries took the chance to prove their skills in Basketball City Mainhattan. They were watched by executives from Europes Top-Divisions, like the German s. Oliver BBL Coaches and Managers Dirk Bauermann (Bamberg), Heimo Förster (Leverkusen), Predrag Krunic (Bonn), Bruno Soce (Ludwigsburg), Stephan Baeck (Cologne), Thomas Deuster (Manager Leverkusen), Wolfgang Malisch (Manager Würzburg) und Jens Brämer (Manager Oldenburg).
The annual Court Side Pro Camp, organised since 1998, is one of the most important Camps for young players in search for a new team. 70 percent of all the athletes, who have joined the Court Side Camp in the past, got a contract with European or American clubs.
