about us

IBC Academy was founded in 2018 thanks to the 25 years of experience as a coach and scout in different categories and levels of one of its founders: Pedro J. Argachal.

The initial approach was to hold campuses in the USA during holiday periods with the aim of helping numerous American players, who had contacted us, to acquire a global vision of European basketball and its differences with American basketball.

¿QUIENES SOMOS?

IBC Academy se fundó en 2018 gracias a los 25 años de experiencia como entrenador y scouter en diferentes categorías y niveles de uno de sus fundadores: Pedro J. Argachal

Nuestra larga experiencia nos ha enseñado que esta forma de trabajar hace que la progresión sea más rápida, pero sobre todo más efectiva y duradera consiguiendo que el jugador o jugadora tome conciencia de detalles que incluso desconocía de sus propios gestos técnicos

En un inicio, el objetivo de IBC Academy era dar la oportunidad a más de 250 jugadores americanos que contactaron con el de entrar en el baloncesto profesional o semiprofesional europeo. Pero la pandemia y la imposibilidad de llevar a cabo los summer camps que teníamos pactados, hizo que diéramos la vuelta a esta opción y en diciembre de 2020 inauguramos nuestro Training Center.

Así, trabajando principalmente con Edu Sports y gracias a nuestro IBCA e-Report, diversos perfiles de jugadores darán el salto en breve a USA para combinar estudios y baloncesto. Alguno de ellos ya disfruta de la experiencia actualmente en institutos como Bella Vista College Preparatory School (Arizona)

With the objective of giving the opportunity to more than 250 American players who contacted us to enter professional or semi-professional basketball in Europe, IBC Academy held several camps in Miami with Brandon Dean as coach and responsible for logistics in these events.
 
In 2019 several agents and coaches were interested in our model and we planned events in New York, New Orleans, Indiana and Miami for the summer of 2020 but the pandemic made it impossible to carry out the summer camps we had agreed. This fact made us turn this option around and in December 2020 we inaugurated our Training Center next to Barcelona (Spain).
 
Despite this, we continue to collaborate with our contacts in the USA and, working mainly with Edu Sports and thanks to our IBCA e-Report, several player profiles will soon make the leap to the USA to combine studies and basketball. Some of them are already enjoying the experience at Bella Vista College Preparatory School (Arizona).

how is OUR PHILOSOPHY

IBC Academy’s goal is to gain a complete knowledge of our players. With this knowledge, we will be able to build your electronic report with complete information about you that will be decisive in helping you take your next step.
 
We cannot guarantee that after the IBC Academy our players will have a professional contract, but we can assure that they will be more prepared to face that challenge with guarantees, since during their process in the academy we will address those aspects that can make the difference with other applicants.

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

We want to work with you improving your individual skills and working on tactical concepts. This is the only way to get to know you completely as a basketball player and as a person.
 
In addition to all this, the fact that IBC Academy is not a player representation agency guarantees that our report is absolutely professional and objective.

NUESTRA FILOSOFÍA

El objetivo de IBC Academy es obtener un conocimiento completo de nuestros jugadores. Con este conocimiento, podremos construir tu informe electrónico con una información completa acerca de ti que será determinante para ayudarte a dar tu siguiente paso.

No podemos garantizar que tras el paso por IBC Academy nuestros/as jugadores/as dispongan de un contrato profesional, pero sí que podemos asegurar que estarán más preparados para afrontar ese reto con garantías, ya que durante su proceso en la academia se abordarán aquellos aspectos que pueden marcar la diferencia con otros aspirantes.

TRABAJEMOS JUNTOS

Queremos trabajar contigo mejorando tus habilidades individuales y trabajando conceptos tácticos. Esta es la única manera de poder conocerte de una forma completa como jugador/a de baloncesto y también como persona.

Además de todo esto, el hecho de que IBC Academy no sea una agencia de representación de jugadores garantiza que nuestro informe es absolutamente profesional y objetivo.
