WHAT IS MVP FUTURE STARS?
Created in 2008, it is the only basketball specialization event in Europe with a continuous 14-day residential program, a cycle sufficient to change eating habits, daily routines, and technical training details. This cycle is accompanied not only by coaches, but also by team managers, a physical trainer, a nutritionist, a psychologist, and a physiotherapist.

In the first week, three training sessions are held daily, divided into mornings, where the Defensive Technical Component, Individual Technical Component, and Shooting Technical Component are worked on; in the afternoon, where the Collective Technical Component (2x2, 3x3, 4x4) is developed; and in the evening, where more dedicated work is done on shooting mechanics. The week ends with the Official FIBA ​​3x3 Tournament throughout Saturday.
In the second week, morning training is maintained, and in the afternoon the MVP League takes place, with athletes divided into two distinct groups according to age and/or skill level. The competition ends on the last Saturday with the finals of each group, concluding the event with the awarding of diplomas and some individual prizes.
