How is the trai­ning and season in the USA struc­tured?

In addi­tion to daily team prac­tice on the court, the teams usually do 2 to 3 strength and condi­tio­ning session per week. Prac­tice at an American college is often more deman­ding and inten­sive than in Europe. Due to the high inten­sity, the basket­ball teams have excel­lent condi­tions and access to physical thera­pists, chiro­prac­tors and doctors. They also have access to all reco­very faci­li­ties on a daily basis.

The season usually starts in early October and ends – depen­ding on your team’s perfor­mance – in early April with the national playoff games, called NCAA March Madness. The games, which take place two to three times a week, are at least as well attended as in the top divi­sions of your home country. The atmo­s­phere is simply fantastic.
