"The 2017 International Colonials tour was the most amazing basketball experience that I have ever had.
Getting to know a lot of new people from all over the world is just wonderful. All the people I met are so nice!"
- Tom Ackermans 2017
Eindhoven, the Netherlands
"I think the New England tour made me a better player. We played a lot of games and the level of competition
was high which improved me as a player. I really liked the fact that I met players and coaches from different
countries and cultures. My host families were very friendly and generous. It was a wonderful experience!"
- Marios Tsellos '16
Greece
"This tour was one of the best
things I’ve done in my life! It helped me to improve my skills on the court. Now I can
call so many new people my friends. Your teammates become brothers and your hosts become
family. The International Colonials’ New England tour was an awesome experience!."
Benedikt Haid '15
Innsbruck, Austria
"The International
Colonials is a once in a lifetime experience for players who want to improve
as a player and as a person and to see more of the world in just four weeks.
Four weeks that will last a lifetime, through memories and friends.."
- Martin Neary '14
Dublin, Ireland
"It was unbelievable...you
must experience it to believe it."
- Alberto Navarini '13
Milan, Italy
"It was a wonderful
summer! I had great teammates, learned so much and developed new
basketball skills from very good coaches."

Berlin, Germany
"I can't explain this amazing experience. I learned so much
on and off the court and I made so many new friends - I loved it!"
- Lenni Burgemeister '13
Klosterneuburg, Austria
"It
was incredible playing with such great teammates for three weeks
against such good teams. I could not believe how welcome I was made
to feel all around New England by my host families and the teams
we played against. The hosting is what separates this from any other
basketball I have ever experienced."
- Fraser Malcolm, '12
Falkirk, Scotland
"The International
Colonials tour is an experience I will never forget. It helped me
learn lessons for basketball, but also helped me learn some life
lessons because of the stories players, coaches and hosts shared
with me. It made me stronger as a basketball player and it made
me stronger as a person."
- Niklas Ney,
'12
Berlin, Germany

great experience! I really enjoyed being with my hosts and the basketball
experience was invaluable towards my future."
-Vince
Van Nes '09

"This
tour really is something special; it is something that money couldn't
buy, truly the trip of a lifetime. In addition to successfully improving
my basketball and giving me an insight into what I need to work
on for the fall, I think I have grown as a person and I am very
grateful for that."
-Cathal
Finn '08 & '09
Oranmore, Ireland
"This tour was an
amazing experience and it's a great opportunity for young players.
It was absolutely wonderful."

this amazing experience."

International
Colonials
New England Tour Summer 2018
2018 International Colonials at North Attleboro High School
The New England Colonials International Basketball Club is proud to sponsor the International Colonials.
This unique team brings together ten players (ages 16-18) from ten countries around the world each summer
for a challenging two-week basketball tour of New England.
International Colonials players will have several team practice sessions before touring New England for
games against good high school and AAU teams. Players will be hosted by caring New England families throughout
the summer. Most games are in the evening with days free for a wide range of social, recreational, and cultural
activities. Special clinics and practices 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 by mid-July. Exact travel
dates for the New England Tour will be set by January. All applicants must be highly recommended by their club or
school coach. Applicants must be highly recommended by their club or school coaches and must be capable of handling
a demanding 10-12 game schedule against good competition. 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.com for
additional information about any aspect of our International
Colonials program. Applications will be available in October.
