In Co-operation with SPOPS, the 1st Spalding Pro Camp in Germany will take place from April 29th to May 1st, 2011. This is an invitational tournament for professional players which have a comparable game level like the Beko Basketball Bundesliga (Germany’s 1st Division league), Pro A or Pro B (2nd Division). The camp will take place in Mainz, which is 17 miles away from the largest German airport in Frankfurt am Main.

The camp fee will be 275,- Euro (about 400 USD). Players who are not invited can submit their applications as well. Additional positions will be assigned through a selection process. The fee is an all-inclusive package and contains 3 nights in a hotel including breakfast, 2 days of catering at the tournament, 3 dinners as well as the shuttle from train station/airport to the hotel and back.

Not without a reason this basketball has been chosen as the official game ball by many (mostly European) organizations. As of season 2010/2011 in Germany it is the official 1st Division Beko Basketball Bundesliga game ball. The Spalding TF-1000 ZK Pro is a high quality product which has been available throughout the global market for quite some time now and has found a lot of supporters, from recreational players, semi-pro to pros. Some players of mine have been using this ball for years and they still enjoy playing with it and won’t trade it for any other basketball. When doing scrimmages, this is the only ball they’ll accept for playing.
