Structure children can rely on, with room to be kids in between.

Morning

Fuel and focus

Team breakfast with the coaches, then the first training block — technique, drills and position work.

Midday

Rest and refuel

A proper lunch, downtime at the pool or games room, and time to just be kids.

Afternoon

Compete and learn

Tactical sessions and scrimmages — twice a week, a friendly match against a local academy.

Evening

Together time

Dinner as a team, then talent shows, movie nights and new friends from nineteen countries.

From our families

Real stories, told simply

Shared by parents after camp. Names shortened for privacy; full references available on request.

My son came back a completely different person. More confident, more disciplined, more alive. HighFive didn't just teach him basketball. They taught him who he could become.
E. K. · Russia · 2024
The coaches treated every child equally. No favorites, no tiers. Just pure dedication to helping kids grow. That's rare and precious.
M. R. · Germany · 2025
I was nervous sending my daughter abroad alone. The Parent Portal made me feel like I was right there with her. I could see her smiling every single day.

Questions

Before you ask

The answers parents need most, straight from our team.

What ages can attend HighFive Sport Camps?

Our camps welcome young athletes aged 8 to 16, organised into five competitive tiers from U-8 through U-16 so every child trains with peers at their own level — from fun-first fundamentals to elite pre-professional preparation.

What is included in a HighFive camp week?

Two professional coaching sessions daily, 4–5 star hotel accommodation, full-board nutritionist-planned meals, airport transfers, camp uniform, friendly matches against local youth academies, evening excursions, on-site medical staff, and full access to the real-time Parent Portal.

How do parents stay updated during camp?

The HighFive Parent Portal delivers daily photos and videos, activity summaries, individual skill-progress tracking, and direct messaging with your child's coach — in real time, from anywhere in the world.

How safe are the camps?

Safety is our first system: a 1:6 coach-to-athlete ratio, licensed medics on every campus, 24/7 security, vetted FIBA, UEFA, and CEV licensed coaches, and strict safeguarding protocols at every location.

Which languages do coaches and staff speak?

Our international staff speaks six languages — English, Turkish, Serbian, Bosnian, German, and Russian — so every athlete and every parent communicates comfortably.

How do I book a camp and what does it cost?

Selected programmes — including Basket Friends 2027 with its published prices from €499 — can be reserved directly online in a few minutes. For camps without published pricing, request a personalised programme through our contact form, by WhatsApp at +90 544 118 18 27, or by email at book@highfivesportcamp.com — we reply within 24 hours.
