The Basketball rules are the same all over the world. Except for the US, where Highschool, NCAA, and NBA have different rules.

Since the goal of our camp is to give players exposure to international teams from all over the world, it would be natural to play with the official FIBA rules at our camp.

Unfortunately, that is not possible.

First of all, the American referees and the people behind the scorer’s table are not familiar with the FIBA rules.

Secondly, the measurements of the court are different than a standard FIBA court.

The measurement of the camp gym is 84 feet long by 50 feet wide (25,6 meter by 15,24 meter). The FIBA standard for international competition is 91 feet by 50 feet (28 meters by 15,24 meters, meaning that a standard FIBA court is 7 feet longer (2,13 meter).

However, the FIBA allows national leagues to have courts as small as 26 meters by 14 meters (85 feet and 20 inches by 45 feet and 11 inches).

In addition, all painted areas and all lines on the court will be according to the (old) NCAA rules, which for example means that the three-point line will be at 19 feet and 9 inches (6.02 meter). Both the NCAA and the FIBA are in the process of changing these measurements, but we may assume that the painted areas and the lines on the court in our Pro Camp gym will remain as described above for some years to come.

We have to adapt the rules of the game to the referees, the camp staff and the measurements of the court, so we will be playing by official NCAA rules. However, the following elements of FIBA rules (or our own camp rules) will be inserted:

1-Playing time will be 4 x 10 minutes (NCAA is 2 x 20)
2-10 players per team
3-Shot clock will be 24 seconds (NCAA is 35 seconds)
4-Time outs can only be called by the coaches (NCAA allows players to call time-outs)
5-We will play all games in our camp with the FIBA approved “Molten G7” Basketball. This is the ball that is used in most European leagues as well as in FIBA competition (including the Olympic Games). In NCAA competition, “Wilson” is the official game ball.

As a special camp rule, we will only allow the Man-To-Man defense. No Zone defenses.

Molten ‘GG7’. This is the ball that is used in most professional leagues in Europe, as well as in many FIBA competitions (including the Olympic Games).

Yes. All games will be videotaped and there will be stats and box scores available immediately after each game. Player profiles on all participants are available as well.

No, everyone is welcome. Coaches do not need to register anywhere. Since the COVID-19 lockdown measures, most coaches, scouts, and agents have been watching the games online.

Yes, if you don’t have a place to stay in Las Vegas you will need to book and pay for a hotel room.

Yes, the main task of the camp coaches is to distribute playing time as evenly as possible. A player who gets many minutes in their first game will likely play fewer minutes in their second game, and vice versa. The goal is to ensure that each player averages 15–25 minutes per game over the course of the camp.

At Court Side, we understand that many talented players get overlooked simply because they lack the proper exposure, stats, or game film. Others have played at a high level but may have taken time off and disappeared from the radar.

Our camp exists to give ALL players a real opportunity—a platform to showcase their skills in front of scouts, teams, and agents. Whether you’re an underrated talent looking for your first break or a proven player trying to get back in the game, this tryout is designed to put you back on the map.

With today’s global scouting landscape, decision-makers don’t always need to be in the gym to evaluate talent. That’s why our games are professionally filmed and watched by a worldwide audience of coaches, agents, and teams looking for their next player.

This is more than just a camp. It’s your chance to be seen.

There is no official deadline, but we operate on a first-come, first-served basis until the camp is sold out. Once spots are gone, they’re gone.

We strongly advise you to sign up as soon as possible, even if you’re not ready to pay the camp fee immediately. Why? Because once you’ve registered, we can notify you in time if the camp is filling up—giving you a chance to secure your spot before it’s too late.

🔹 Bonus Tip: The closer we get to the camp dates, the more expensive flights and hotels become. Taking care of everything early doesn’t just secure your spot—it also saves you money!

🔹 Even More Exposure: The earlier you register, the more time we have to promote you to teams, scouts, and agents, letting them know that you’ll be participating.

The sooner you sign up, the better your chances, the lower your costs, and the more exposure you’ll get!

Las Vegas is the global basketball hotspot in July. The NBA Summer League takes place there, attracting coaches, scouts, agents, and team officials from all over the world. In addition, several leagues hold their own draft camps in Las Vegas, while agents organize exposure camps.
