International Colonials 
Summer 2012

The New England Colonials International Basketball Club is proud to sponsor the International Colonials. This unique program brings together ten players (ages 16-17) from ten countries around the world each summer for a challenging three-week basketball tour of New England.

International Colonials players will attend a team camp and team practice sessions before touring New England for games against high school and AAU teams. Players will be hosted by qualified families throughout the summer. Games are in the evening with days free for a wide range of social, recreational, and cultural activities. Special clinics with outstanding New England basketball coaches are also scheduled throughout the tour.

International Colonials players will arrive in Boston in late June and will return home in mid-July. Exact travel dates for the 2012 season will be set by January. All applicants must be highly recommended by their club or school coach. International Colonials players will be responsible for their round-trip airfare and a modest team fee. Financial aid and fundraising assistance are available for players in need.

Please contact us at NECOLONIALS@aol.comfor additional information about any aspect of our International Colonials program.
