NBC TRAVEL TEAMS - NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS FOR 2023 SEASON!

NBC Travel Teams are an extension program of NBC Camps and allow NBC athletes to tour the world while playing the game they love. NBC Travel Teams challenge athletes to experience new cultures, fellowship with international peers, and widen their global perspective. Travel Team athletes have a desire to grow on and off the court, becoming the best they can be. Teams explore and sightsee during the day and play games against the local competition in the evenings.

NBC Camps are now accepting applications for athletes for 2023 Travel Teams. Athletes will be selected based on their previous demonstration of strong moral character, servant leadership, and their skills on the court. NBC coaches evaluate athletes during their time at NBC summer camps and athlete nominations are sent to the NBC Central Office. Invitations to apply for the tour are sent out via these nominations at the end of the summer/early fall. If you did not attend an NBC camp but are interested in applying for an NBC Travel Team, please email Breanna Lyons, Travel Team Director, at travelteams@nbccamps.com directly.

There are two phases of the application process:

PHASE 1: Application Paperwork

• 2023 Athlete Application
• 2 Confidential Reference Forms (one from a teacher/mentor, another from your coach)
• Parent/Guardian Recommendation Form
• $500 USD Nonrefundable Deposit
  • The deposit can be made online (www.nbccamps.com/international)
  • Your deposit will be refunded to you if your athlete is not chosen for a 2023 Travel Team.

PHASE 2: Application Interview

• Arrange a video/Skype interview with the NBC Travel Team Director. The NBC Travel Team Committee will meet to review all applications at the end of athlete interviews. The committee will then select athletes for 2023 Travel Teams and contact all athletes with their results.

The locations and number of 2023 teams will depend on the careful selection of athletes by the travel team committee. Destinations for 2023 include the United Kingdom, Germany, and Italy. Athletes will be able to express which location they would most like to travel to during their interview.
