HoopLife Budapest Camp 2026
Take your basketball skills to the next level at HoopLife Budapest Camp 2026, an international basketball camp designed for motivated and competitive players who want to improve, compete, and gain valuable exposure.
The camp takes place from July 12–19, 2026 in Budapest, Hungary, at a professional basketball complex located within the Hungarian University of Physical Education and Sport Sciences. Players stay at Novotel Budapest City, a 4-star hotel located just a short walk from the training facility.
This camp is created for hard-working basketball players who already play competitive basketball and are part of their club’s regular rotation. Participants are divided into training groups based on skill level and experience, ensuring a strong and balanced competitive environment for every player.
Players can expect intense basketball training, high-level coaching, competitive games, Night League 5x5 matches, individual development, exposure opportunities, and a strong international camp atmosphere. The program focuses on key basketball areas such as decision-making, court vision, spacing, confidence, game understanding, teamwork, and defensive intensity.
The camp is led by experienced coaches and basketball professionals, including internationally recognized coach Donnie Arey, together with HoopLife staff, scouts, and player development specialists. Participants also receive career guidance, exposure support, and the opportunity to be promoted on international basketball markets.
One of the main highlights of the camp is the Night League, where players are drafted into teams and compete in high-intensity 5x5 games. Every participant also takes part in the final East Meets West All-Star Game, followed by awards and closing ceremony.
