Located in the south-west of France, players from across North America and Europe meet for a three week stretch of competition and travel with the academy. Starting the trip in Paris, driving across the nation with our vans full of cargo and excitement for the tournament schedule to begin. Players range from ages 11-18 years old with aspirations to get recruited by NCAA division I schools and play at a high-performance level back in their hometown. Days were filled with hours of training, fitness preparation, tournament competition and lots of sight-seeing. The experience of being part of a team, while competing individually and also getting to know other players from another part of the world is an experience worth remembering. Not only are they competing in around five to seven tournaments during the three weeks, they also get a taste of what the country looks like off the court.
