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.
