Euro-Grades 2026 Tryout & Evaluation Pathway
Athletes preparing for Overseas Basketball Tryouts in 2026 can access the complete Euro-Grades pathway through four major evaluation events—each designed to mirror the standards used by European clubs and FIBA organizations.
Euro-Tour (Romania, Serbia, Hungary) — February 17–26, 2026
A direct overseas opportunity where athletes compete against professional FIBA clubs. Euro-Tour players gain international game experience, build film that European teams prefer, and may receive real-time interest from coaches and clubs. This tour is the most direct route into the European market.
Men’s Las Vegas Combine — July 13–15, 2026
A high-level evaluation event featuring structured skill testing, European concepts, and three full FIBA-style exposure games. The Las Vegas Combine is ideal for athletes targeting overseas contracts for the 2026–27 season and looking for a professional system run by active European coaches.
Men’s East Coast Combine — September 11–13, 2026
A second annual opportunity for men seeking overseas consideration during the final week of first Wave transactions. The East-Coast Combine includes European coaching staff, complete evaluations, and high-quality film for professional placement.
Women’s Euro Combine — September 11–13, 2026
The Women’s Euro-Combine is one of the few programs offering a clear pathway for women seeking professional opportunities overseas. Our staff evaluates guards, wings, and posts within a European system, providing position-specific feedback and contract opportunities based on active openings in women’s leagues abroad.
European Coaches & FIBA Scouts
Our staff includes active European head coaches, assistants, and scouts who evaluate athletes using the same criteria used in Romania, Serbia, Greece, Turkey, and Western European leagues. Their presence ensures every athlete receives an accurate, real-world assessment of their readiness for overseas competition.
Overseas Basketball Contracts After the Combine
Players who perform well at the Las Vegas Combine will be considered for Euro-Grades overseas placements, including FIBA club trials, invitations to European preseason camps, and contract discussions facilitated through verified agents. Athletes also receive guidance on navigating FIBA paperwork, clearance, and onboarding.
How to Prepare for an Overseas Tryout
We provide athletes with a preparation guide covering conditioning standards, skill work, expected roles, travel requirements, and game-film strategy. Preparing properly increases a player’s chances of earning a contract and helps them avoid common pitfalls that occur when entering the European market for the first time.
