A unique opportunity to train with elite coaches
LEARN TO PLAY THE NBA WAY

The NBA Basketball School begins its third year at Costa Navarino. This first-of-its-kind NBA collaboration combines a world-class coaching program with premium hospitality and FIBA-compliant basketball facilities at Navarino Dunes. To mark the beginning of the third year of the NBA Basketball School at Costa Navarino, a three to six-day Easter Basketball School will be hosted from April 17 to April 23, 2025.

This summer, we invite young players from 6 to 18 years old to participate in this year’s Summer Basketball School, from June 2nd to September 7th, 2025. This special, tuition-based basketball development program is available in three-, four-, five-, six-, and seven-day camp packages for young players. All participants will receive two NBA-branded T-shirts and an NBA-branded sling bag. Participants who attend the full School program (5, 6 or 7 days) will receive an NBA Basketball School certificate of attendance and an NBA gift.

NBA Basketball School elite coaches will introduce players to the NBA approach through a comprehensive curriculum that covers on-court training, skill development, and basketball education while highlighting the values of teamwork, integrity, and respect. Michael Bradley will join our NBA Basketball School as a full-time Camp Director.

The program aims to inspire and create opportunities for players of all ages to learn the fundamentals and core values of the game under the guidance of experienced coaches, while further expanding the diverse sports offerings at Costa Navarino, all against the breathtaking Messinian landscape.

Private coaching sessions for adults are available upon request, depending on the coach’s availability.

The NBA Basketball School curriculum
A DEVELOPMENTALLY-BASED PROGRESSION
It has been developed to help players, parents, coaches, and organizations better understand the process of improvement.
The curriculum is a developmentally-based progression that depends on players mastering new skills before advancing to the next level. It’s not based on a player’s age, but rather on their proficiency at key skills.
