Train Like a Pro
Building on the success of Volume 1 (2025) – which sold out with 50 players – the Combine Camp returns to Prague as a true combine-style experience. This is not a holiday camp. Players are physically tested, evaluated, and drafted into teams, then placed into competitive situations where every detail is observed.
Under the direct guidance of GBA Head Coaches, athletes go through a structured training and evaluation process used within the academy. Every session has a clear purpose, designed to assess readiness, decision-making, and competitiveness. This camp delivers a realistic view of where players stand and what higher-level environments demand.
What to Expect
Combine Testing
We use official testing protocols including vertical jump, sprint timing, and agility drills to measure your athleticism. You will receive raw data and metrics to see exactly how you stack up against professional standards.
Court & Gym Daily
Every day includes a double focus: on-court basketball skills development and strength & conditioning in the gym and track. We build complete athletes, not just players.
The GBA Standard
High intensity, attention to detail, and no shortcuts. You will train in a professional environment that demands your best effort every single session.
A Day in the Life
Morning Session
Start your day with breakfast, then high-intensity on-court skill work. This includes ball handling, shooting mechanics, footwork, and game situations.
Strength & Conditioning
Transition to the gym for a focused session on speed, power, explosiveness, and injury prevention. Lunch follows this physical development block.
Testing & Evaluation
Regular combine testing uses professional protocols to track your progress. You will see measurable improvements in your athletic performance.
Evening Development
Engage in additional skill refinement and competitive play with real-time coaching feedback. Dinner will be served after the session.
Why Combine Testing Matters
Professional basketball isn't just about skill. It's about measurable athletic ability. Before becoming professional, teams use combine testing to evaluate players objectively.
At GBA Combine Camp, you'll experience the same tests used at the highest levels: vertical jump (max reach and approach), lane agility, sprint tests, and more. These aren't arbitrary exercises – they're proven indicators of basketball performance.
You'll receive detailed results showing exactly where you stand. This data becomes your baseline, helping you understand which physical qualities need development and tracking your improvement over time. It's professional feedback based on objective measurement, not opinion.
The GBA Coaching Philosophy
Attention to Detail
Every movement matters. Our coaches break down technique to the smallest details, ensuring proper mechanics become automatic through repetition and correction.
Professional Standards
We don't adjust expectations downward. You'll be held to the same standards we use with our academy players who compete at national and international levels.
Individual Development
While training in a group setting, our coaches identify each player's specific needs and provide personalized feedback to accelerate individual growth.
Building Mental Toughness
Physical skills are only part of the equation. Through challenging yet safe sessions and high expectations, we develop the mental resilience required for competitive basketball.
What Players & Parents Say
Hear from participants who experienced Volume 1 (2025)
"I’m from the UK and I learned a lot about the European style of basketball. I liked the competition and the competitiveness a lot. Good people, good fun, good coaches. I recommend it.”
— Denis H., Age 17, United Kingdom
“I love the camp. I love this training, I love everything about it."
— Oliver B., Age 18, Czech Republic
"As a mother, I initially had concerns since my son was one of the youngest. But he was happy from day one—'everything is great' were the only messages we got. The coaches were strong motivators while being firm about discipline and proper habits. After each camp, Mišo came home more confident with an even stronger desire to improve. Thanks to the professionalism and positive atmosphere, he'll be attending his third camp at age 12."

What Parents Should Know
Sending your child to an intensive training camp is a significant decision. Here's what makes GBA Combine Camp different.
Professional Environment
This is not recreational basketball. The camp matches professional training intensity with double sessions (court + gym) and combine testing. Players train 4-6 hours daily, mirroring GBA academy schedules. They should come prepared to work hard and be challenged.
Safety & Supervision
All training is supervised by qualified GBA coaches and dedicated staff animators who ensure player safety 24/7. We maintain a 1:6-8 coach-to-player ratio. Medical support is available, and all staff are background-checked and trained in youth supervision.
Measurable Results
Players receive a detailed combine report with athletic benchmarks: vertical jump, lane agility times, sprint tests, and comparison to professional standards. This objective feedback identifies areas for improvement and guides future training.
Long-term Development
The camp teaches advanced training methods players can continue at home. Participants learn proper warm-up protocols and strength progressions, plus receive a personalized post-camp development plan based on their testing results.

Spots are extremely limited – Volume 1 (2025) sold out quickly, and 2026 terms are sold out. This is your opportunity to train like a pro, get professional combine testing, and invest in your basketball future.
