VIBGYOR Group of Schools, in association with Olympia Sportz & Events and Nàstic Sports Academy (NSA), Barcelona, Spain, has brought an international basketball development programme to India under Hoops India, VIBGYOR’s basketball brand ambassador programme, which is now in its second year. The initiative gives young players an opportunity to train under Spanish basketball methodology and explore a pathway for further development in Spain.
The NSA International Basketball Camp India 2026 was conducted for advanced-level players aged 12 to 18 years in Mumbai and Pune. Going beyond a conventional basketball camp, the programme combined structured training and competitive situations with player evaluation. Participants were assessed by Mr. Fernando Gordo, Director of the Basketball Program, and Mr. Eloi Badia, Strength and Conditioning Head, on technical ability, decision-making, physical potential, attitude and work ethic.
A key highlight of the initiative is the opportunity for talented players to continue their basketball development in Spain. Based on their performance during the Mumbai and Pune programmes, two players—one from each city—will receive a guaranteed 50% scholarship for NSA’s Annual Residential Programme in Spain. This programme offers an integrated pathway combining high-performance basketball training, education, and residential support.
Additionally, one outstanding player will receive a full scholarship to participate in the next 10-day NSA Basketball Programme in Spain. The scholarship will cover programme-related expenses; airfare is not included.
