SWITZERLAND CAMP COMING SOON

About the Switzerland camp

Since its first edition in 2020, the Blessed Hoops Camp in Switzerland has become a premier destination for players seeking development and exposure. With over 100 participants per edition from countries including the UK, France, Germany, USA, and Lebanon, Senegal the camp reflects the true international spirit of basketball.

Our program welcomes players of all levels, from young athletes looking to learn fundamentals to advanced prospects pursuing scholarships abroad. Guided by experienced international coaches, participants receive professional training in both technical and tactical aspects of the game.

We’ve been honored to host guests such as Jorge Manzano and Dani Morelaz from Pindown (Spain), Jackie Knowles (Mentor for NBA and EuroLeague players with over 3,000 college placements), and our ambassador Michael Kessens (Champions League winner with Telekom Bonn and Eurocup winner with Paris Basket). Their involvement underscores our commitment to quality, excellence, and opportunity.

Parent

“Our 2 boys, aged 7 and 9 went to the Blessed Hoops Summer Basketball Camp in 2023.”

Parent

“The level of personal attention and care provided by the coaches was exceptional. They didn’t just teach basketball skills; they empowered our boys both on and off the court. The camp’s unique approach to integrating mental skills training with physical training is quite special. Our sons came back not only with improved basketball skills but also with a heightened sense of confidence and motivation that they apply in their everyday lives.

What stood out to us was the dedication to keeping the kids motivated and focused throughout the week. This kind of guidance is rare and invaluable.

Our boys are already looking forward to returning and as parents, we couldn’t be happier to see them so enthusiastic about a sport and a program that brings out the best in them.

To anyone considering Blessed Hoops for their children: it’s an investment not just in their sports journey, but in their journey to becoming better, more confident individuals. We highly recommend it!”
