Frequently Asked Questions

• No. You may do your own travel logistics and ABN can sell you any part of the tour you cannot book yourself. Premium pricing and coaches incentives do not exist with this option.
• Basketball camps are set in many countries and tours are best built around these dates. However, if you do not travel with ABN, you might be locked out of a destination because we have too many teams going there already. Drop in teams are not guaranteed registration.

Each participant has a responsibility to pay a $500 deposit at registration. Non refundable. You then have until 45 days before the trip to pay your balance. 50% of balance must be paid by December 31. You will be billed once a month. Typical monthly payments are from $300-$500 depending on your tour and whether you have a full air or land package only.

• We have sold 9 day tours to China for as low as $3056 per person ( 42 persons) and as high as $5453per person ( Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, Kroatia).
• We try to price out at around $3400-3700 (East Coast) for an 9day tour ($3700-4000 WC).
• Your travel prices are not controlled by ABN, and please remember you are flying during peak summer season to peak tourist areas.
• Your departure area from the USA can also fluctuate prices.
• Please remember the Dollar is valued almost 20% weaker than the Euro, this costs us also.

Again, this is determinant on where and when you travel. It depends if you are playing singles or tournament style. Barcelona at Easter can get you 9 matches in 6 days with no free time! We can give you as many or as few as you wish to play. A normal trip of 9 days has 2 days of travel, 5-6games, and two free days
