WHY ELITE BASKETBALL CAMP IS THE QUALITY STANDARD IN THE BALTICS?

1. National team level attention (3:15 ratio)

We simulate the work process of Latvia's youth national teams. Although we are the largest camp in the region, each group has only up to 15 players, working with 3 specialists: two basketball coaches and one physical preparation coach. Safety and health are ensured by on-site physiotherapists and a medic, emphasizing proper physical preparation and injury prevention.

2. Growth tailored to you

We group players by skills, not just age. Small groups (up to 15 people) and the camp's impressive number of participants allow everyone to find a suitable and challenging environment for their level, to get maximum benefit from the program.

3. Inspiring evening lectures

Every evening, children gather for professionally prepared lectures, where high-level lecturers and coaches share knowledge about comprehensive athlete development through engaging experience stories. These are not only instructive and valuable sessions, but also one of the participants' favorite parts of the camp, providing new perspective and inspiring big goals both on the court and in life.

4. International environment and sparring

As one of the largest residential camps in Europe, we attract more and more international participants each year. This is your opportunity to get to know other countries' basketball schools and test your skills against different playing styles in an international and competitive environment.

5. Latvia's best coaches and Pro infrastructure

Train with specialists who work daily with Latvia's national teams and leading clubs. The professional training process takes place in spacious, modern sports facilities, while full rest is guaranteed by staying in a quality hotel adapted for athletes (only 2–3 people per room).

This is your time to rise to a new level!

ABOUT THE CAMP

Our basketball camp is more than just regular training – it is a place where young athletes develop their skills, build character, and strengthen their love for the game.

MISSION

Our mission is to provide the highest level paid alternative to the youth national team process, creating an environment where every motivated player can develop to national team standard levels every summer. We serve as a powerful mechanism to supplement sports schools' work, filling the quality and training volume deficit that in many places hinders young people's full growth. At the same time, we provide an opportunity for leading talents to continue summer work worthy of national teams even in seasons when official national team cycles are not convened.

VISION

To be the region's leading camp, bringing together Latvia's finest basketball minds in one place to guarantee an elite-level training process for every motivated young athlete

Our camp combines professional training methodology with a friendly atmosphere, providing every participant with the opportunity to not only improve their basketball skills, but also gain valuable life experience, develop character, and learn important values that will help both in sports and in life.

TESTIMONIALS

What do Elite Basketball Camp coaches say about this camp?

"I see why so many young people come here three, four years in a row. My daughters have been here too. The highest level is ensured in all aspects."

Sandis Amoliņš

Bērtānu VBS

"Every summer I try to free up time to come here. I see that a large part of the children see the information we share here for the first time. Here you can see and feel how national teams work."

Mārtiņš Gulbis

VEF Rīga

"Change of environment and availability of various sparring partners is a very good reason to come to this camp every year."

Kristaps Zeids

Baltic Rollers

"If Norway has oil and Alaska has gold, then our gold or our oil is coaches. Mainly, the very strong coaching staff is the reason why we can provide a very purposeful and planned process throughout the camp."

Artūrs Visockis Rubenis

BK Liepāja

"I really like how young people are prepared for the fact that important actions in basketball are not only on the court, but also off it. I think young people take quite a lot from the evening lectures, which are interesting to me too."

Gints Fogels

BK Ventspils

"It's easy to feel like the best in your city or school, but coming here to Elite Camp, a player is forced to step out of their comfort zone. Different playing styles and coaching approaches force young people to look for new solutions in their game, because old habits don't always work. Seeing how hard others train, children here get such a motivation boost that lasts the whole season."

Edijs Šlesers

Ekselences centrs

"The big emphasis on physical preparation also transfers to the daily process. Young people who have been to the camp understand the importance of physical preparation much more and start approaching this section much more seriously in their training processes. It's invaluable that there's a physiotherapist on site who can quickly get young people back to training in case of minor injuries."
