Adidas Nations

Starting in 2007, adidas Nations elevated the world of grassroots basketball with a dynamic, global approach to talent-evaluation camps. Acknowledging the current state of the game, adidas embraces the responsibility of educating the world’s top youth players and future stars. The message is clear: Basketball is rooted in teamwork and the future success of the game is dependent on a return to this key tenet. At adidas Nations, the world’s top 18-and-under players are selected to seven regional teams-Africa, Asia, Canada, Europe, Latin America and the United States (2010 and 2011). A multi-faceted international curriculum featuring NBA coaches and players will provide invaluable insight and first-hand knowledge to the participants, illustrating the pressures, rigors and challenges that accompany the rise of a future NBA star.

adidas Nations will be held at the world class Integrated Athletic Development Center in Dallas, Texas. From August 4th- 9th, the world’s top 18-and-under basketball players will come together for the most intense international training and competition program. Eastbay, the official retail partner for adidas Nations, will be the official online destination for adidas Nations camp coverage. For the first time ever players, fans, coaches, scouts and family members will be able to learn about the world’s top 18-and-under players and watch the highly anticipated Championship series on Saturday, August 8th starting at 3:45pm CT. The live streaming of adidas Nations will be broadcast live at: www.eastbay.com/adidasnations
