NEWEST NEWS! 

Attention all Professional Players, Pro ABA  NBA-D or WNBA teams, and Player Agents:

1. ABN is now finalizing a partnership with a group outside of Florence, Italy. The group is composed of 2  ex-professional basketball players ( ex patriate Americans)  who are full time residents in Italy .

1b. A “residency” dorm is going to be established for Professional Players to base themselves in Italy and wait for calls from clubs. This facility will include basketball gyms, weight room, pool, sauna, etc as well as hotel with full pension.

1c. Residency offers will only be extended to players our scouting service believes can play 1. Division Pro Level in Italy, Turkey, France, Spain, etc.
1d. Players will receive professional level basketball training, physical conditioning, life coaching, mental training, interview prep, cultural acclimation training, professional nutritional counseling, and more.. 

1e. ( The facility  is surrounded by no less than 6 Pro A and Pro B Italian teams who will be immediate competition)

2.  No agents are involved from our business side. This means:

1.  Individuals can apply to be worked out and housed at the residency
2. ABA or other pro teams can  tour  and stay at this training facility
3. Agents may also pay to house their player in Italy so they are at the disposal of top level Euroleague teams.

3. Training and acclimation possibilities for the Adidas Pre Draft camp in Treviso (the first week of June) will be available in 2012 .

4. This will follow with a free agent camp open to all in late June 2012. This camp can also combine with an ABA team tour.

5. A second free agent camp will take place the beginning of August 2012 and will play 10 preseason matches with Pro teams.

6. Peak housing will occur in August with a maximum of 8 players housed from September-February. More players will be housed in late Spring. Teams , male or female, will always be welcome.
