After years of playing an important role in the promotion of basketball in the Levante Almeria area and having transmitted the love of basketball to hundreds of players, the members of the Ciudad de Vera Basketball Club have decided to create “Vera Basketball Academy.”
“Vera Basketball Academy” was born to give young talents the opportunity to develop their skills and knowledge of basketball in a safe environment where the main objective is to ensure that players reach their maximum potential thanks to a program based on mentoring.
At “Vera Basketball Academy” we are strongly committed to the comprehensive education of the player, which is why the Development Team will take care of any player who wishes to study at the best public bilingual educational center in the city of Vera.
Furthermore, with the intention of facilitating the adaptation process of the players, the academy will reinforce the learning of the Spanish language through weekly private classes at the residence for all international players who do not master the language or who want to improve it.
Basketball in Spain is synonymous with the highest level combined with great media impact. For this reason, thousands of young players come to Spain every year to study and develop their basketball thanks to the competitiveness of our leagues.
Most teams in the 1st Division (Liga Endesa) such as Real Madrid, Barcelona, Unicaja Málaga, UCAM Murcia or Fundación Granada have a team competing in the EBA league, which is equivalent to the 4th Division. In this way, a very attractive competition is created so that young national and international talents can develop.
For eight seasons, the members who make up the current Development Team of the Ciudad de Vera Basketball Club have played a key role in promoting basketball in the area as part of the UPLA Basketball Club.
The last three seasons, both the U18 and senior teams have achieved excellent results, thanks to these achievements, and in an attempt to take basketball to the next level, Club Baloncesto Ciudad de Vera was created to accommodate the “Vera Basketball Academy.” ” with the main purpose that U16, U18 and Senior players can reach their greatest potential.
