ABOUT THE LANGUAGE AND BASKETBALL CAMP IN FRANCE
Every year we welcome international students looking forward to improve their language level while perfecting their basketball techniques during the summer. We offer a full linguistic and sports experience in Vichy, France, where lessons are given by professional teachers and professional certified coaches in a vast range of sports. The camp facilities offers all you need to have a great Basketball experience but you can also enjoy a sports hall, TV room, cafeteris, swimming pool, climbing wall etc.
Our sister company organizing the camp is SPORTS ELITE JEUNES. They have great experience in creating cultural, academic and sportive experiences for students around the globe!
UNIQUE IMMERSION PROGRAM!
Your full immersion experience starts as soon as you arrive in the camp as most of the camp participants are French! Additionally all of our staff is French ensuring a dynamic learning process.
International students will attend 3 hours of French from Monday to Friday in a morning schedule and sports training in the afternoon.
Join our Basketball trainings!
Students can make the most of their stay in France to improve their French knowledge by taking French lessons in the morning, and practicing basketball in the afternoon. The students join the participants on the intensive sports camp led by qualified monitors for:
- Daily work in groups of levels and ages to improve passes, shootings, bounces, breaking free from one’s opponent, defense…
- Discussions on the technique, free games;
- Daily matches, tournaments;
- Individual competition
Excursions and other activities are organized according to the participants' interests in the evening and at the weekend.
