Travel. Compete. Grow up fast — on and off the court.

Hoop Force Academy is exploring international basketball experiences for youth players, including potential development camps and team trips linking Ireland and Spain.

Possible activities include technical training, friendly games and cultural experiences. Destinations, dates, coaching, accommodation, safeguarding arrangements and prices are still being discussed with prospective partners. No international trips are currently open for booking.

Families and clubs are welcome to register their interest as these programmes develop.

Learn about our commitment to young players in the Child Safeguarding Statement.

Programme Highlights

Selection-based standards

Trips are for players who show readiness — commitment, coachability, maturity, and the ability to represent Hoop Force properly.

Higher-level competition

Players face new opponents and styles, which challenges decision-making, toughness, and composure in a way local games often can’t.

Real team culture & leadership

Travel builds bonds. Players learn responsibility, punctuality, respect, and how to contribute to a group under pressure.

Growth beyond basketball

Being away from home develops independence and confidence. Players learn to manage routines, recovery, and mindset in a new environment.

Structured planning & communication

Parents receive clear information: itinerary, inclusions, standards, and what players need — with transparent updates throughout.

Safety-first supervision

Responsible supervision and clear rules are non-negotiable. The trip is designed to be professional, secure, and organised — so parents can trust it and players can focus on performing.
