Ballin’ Aboard is an international basketball and cultural travel experience for young athletes. It combines elite-level basketball opportunities with once-in-a-lifetime travel, giving players the chance to grow on and off the court while representing their community abroad.
Ballin’ Aboard is designed for middle school and high school athletes who are committed to basketball development, teamwork, and cultural enrichment. Selection is based on skill level, character, and readiness for international play.
- High-level competition against international teams.
- Cultural experiences through tours, sightseeing, and community activities.
- Personal growth in independence, leadership, and teamwork.
- Recruiting exposure by playing on a global stage.
- Lifelong memories with teammates and new international friends.
That’s okay! Many of our athletes are traveling abroad for the first time. We walk families through every step: passports, packing lists, safety protocols, and expectations.

For selected athletes, the trip is all-inclusive thanks to our corporate sponsorship support. This covers:
- Roundtrip airfare and ground transportation
- Hotel accommodations
- 3 meals per day
- Basketball games, practices, and facility fees
- Tours, excursions, and cultural events
- Team gear and uniforms
Absolutely! Parents are welcome to join as part of our Family Experience Package, which includes lodging, excursions, and access to games. Many parents see this as a chance to share the adventure and support their child while also enjoying international travel.
- We recognize that many athletes play multiple sports. Trips are scheduled well in advance to avoid major conflicts, and most school or club coaches are supportive when they understand the unique opportunity.
Yes. Every traveler (athletes and parents) must have a valid passport to participate in Ballin’ Aboard. If your child does not already have one, we offer passport support to help in the process.
