Obtai­ning a sports scho­l­ar­ship is the ulti­mate goal for all of our players. But how many teams are there and how many full scho­l­ar­s­hips can they award? In general, basket­ball is very common in college sports. Basi­cally every univer­sity has a basket­ball team.

  • Men: 1326
  • Women: 1286

Full scho­l­ar­s­hips per team:

  • Men: bis zu 15
  • Women: bis zu 15

How is the training 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. Prctice 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 physio­the­ra­pists, chiro­prac­tors and doctors. They also have access to all reco­very faci­li­ties on a daily basis.

What does a season at college look like?

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.
