Overseas Basketball With No College Experience: How To Get a Tryout [Younger + Older Players]

Playing overseas basketball without going to college can be very difficult.
For younger players there are many maturity, physical and performance concerns that overseas pro teams will have.
And while there is no age limit for when you can begin playing overseas basketball, these topics will always be an issue.
For older players the main concern will center around performance - why didn’t you play college basketball? For what reason and how has it impacted your development?
With that being said, I have seen players achieve their overseas basketball dreams regardless.
But if you have this player profile then I would recommend a specific way to contact overseas basketball teams, I go over all of this and more in this video.
My mission is to help players achieve their dreams of overseas basketball. I've helped players get signed in all seven continents ranging from those with only high school experience to NCAA athletes.

Would my wife being Mexican American but owning land in Mexico help me qualify as a national or am I still classified as an import? Amazing content brodie!! Keep up the hard work it’ll all pay off!!

Thanks for the words!
Does she have a Mexican passport?
If yes, do you have a Mexican passport through her?
Yes, that would definitely help especially if the land is jointly owned between the two of you.

For older players exposure leagues would be a great option.

As in semi-pro or what exactly were you referring to?

[@charleswebsterjr.6350]

Theres NCAA D2and D3,NAIA,NCJAA (JUCO) USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association,NCCAA ( National Christian College Athletic Association) of different college options.

Thanks for sharing!

How about college students who play on a college club? Like the NCBBA for example, do you believe club basketball is still credible?

Can you send me your game film?

[@damianhuertas6560]

To play or get noticed in overseas basketball: Does it have to be only american colleges or it could be a college from a different country or region? like for example: Puerto rican colleges

Puerto Rican colleges could definitely look good on your resume. Of course, the NCAA is the golden standard of college basketball (worldwide) so that's why it's so powerful if you can play in that system.
Everyone knows it. Everyone respects it.

I'm from Australia and when I started playing basketball I was too old to make a name for myself in junior domestic competitions because my talent and skills surpassed everyone around me but coaches overlooked me. I know I am more than competent to play overseas basketball in Malta (where my parents are from). What should I do now?

Do you have citizenship to Malta? As in a passport?

[@brandonlogan2600]

Whats up Jose,
Im about to be 29 and want to know if its worth trying? Read an article bout this 62 year old man trying out for the G-league.
I walked on to a JuCo team at 17/18 and havent played organzied since 19.
Is it possible to get a contract after making a 10 year comeback?

What’s up bro! It will definitely be difficult but it could be possible if you’re willing to be patient and sacrifice for a few years.
What is your passport and what do you do for a living?

[@denzellaguerta5643]

1:08 Lmao

LOL

[@henrymartinez9940]

Do you get paid on off seasons??

I did for a long time but COVID nullified that deal unfortunately.
Depends on what agreement you have with the club.
