What is the goal of participating?

Are you a player who wants to find new opportunities? Are you trying to show off, but no one takes you into consideration? Do you want to train with professional coaches specialized in the youth players?

Elite Euro Talent showcase, is what you need.

Goals of our basketball showcase event in Puglia:

Technical improvement - through intensive training carried out by the Elite Euro Talent staff (coaches specialized in players from top youth sectors in Italy).

Opportunities - many of the most talented participants in EET events have received offers from Italian clubs or American schools

Participants will have the rare opportunity to train under the command of the staff that works with players from high-level youth sectors: four hours of intensive physical and technical training per day. American system, showcase games, specific work on individual fundamentals are the program that awaits our participants.

Therefore, Elite Euro Talent Showcase is the ideal situation not only to improve your technical skills, but also to increase your chances of being noticed, if you are good enough. Furthermore, through our platform, each participant will potentially receive interest from an Italian club or an American school/university - if they have the required talent.

A very high percentage of past participants in EET events have received (and accepted) important offers; get involved too!

Please note that to offer a better experience, the number of participants is limited.

Technical Director

Coach MASSIMILIANO ORMENI

Considered one of the best coaches in Italy's elite youth sector.

A native of Montecatini, Tuscany, a basketball city, he coached the "home" team at both the youth and senior levels as an assistant in professional league Serie A2.

For 13 years, he was the technical and organizational manager of Juve Pontedera's thriving youth sector, where he reached four national youth finals at various age levels.

After a stint at Herons Montecatini, again as director, he moved to Prato Dragons in 2023, where he reached two national finals in two years, with the U17 (in collaboration with Etrusca S. Miniato) and U15 Excellence groups.

He has been appointed several times as head coach of the Tuscan regional youth teams.

For several years, he has also been the head coach of the Elite Euro Talent international teams participating in the European Youth Basketball League, where he has coached dozens of talents from over 20 countries at stages throughout Europe.

In addition to his strong organizational skills, "Max" specializes in developing the individual fundamentals of young players. His skills are available to participants, facilitating the technical development that make Elite Euro Talent events so famous.

In addition, he will act as a recruiter: if participants demonstrate the necessary talent, they may be recruited directly by the club that coach Ormeni represents.

This is therefore a unique opportunity for growth and future opportunities.
