In case that you are not using our bus, or you are coming by car, we expect you to be there on the day of Camp at 1 pm. We are starting with dinner, but you need some time to be settled and meet some new friends.
It’s not advised unless you are flying very long distances. In that case we could book a room for you in one of the Belgrade hotels, but that service is not included in the price of the Camp.
It is true that we organize transfer to Camp, but since we don’t have our own bus, it is not for free. The price of the transfer is very popular and we sincerely suggest you to use our bus. That is the easiest and the safest way to get to Camp right on time.
This bus will leave on the day of the camp from the 88 Rooms Hotel, 49 Takovska street in Belgrade, at 10:00 AM, but you have to be there at 8:30 am. This bus goes directly to the camp and is chartered for YUBAC’s use only. Certainly, the kids are guided by coaches.
We usually offer an extra service to the foreign campers. That extra service includes pickup from the airport, bus or train terminal near the camp, but it has to be paid separately. For such an service you have to call or e-mail us with his flight time, airline and any other travel information in order for us to place him on our list.
For late arrivals, let us know your arrival time or call with your flight delay and we will try to arrange pickup, transportation or even hotel if it’s necessary.
We will not call if your child arrives at camp. We will always call if he does not arrive at camp. Please instruct your child to call when he arrives and gets settled. In some of our locations, cell phones do not work because they may be in rural areas. In these cases, he should have a calling card or change.
According to the time, your flight should leave; we have to build into this time the transportation from the camp to the airport. The very important thing is to arrange your departure not to disrupt the final day and officially ending ceremony.
Remember that this is suggested and you can adjust to your own personal needs: 12 pairs sweat socks, 2 pairs of basketball sneakers, 7 t-shirts, 1 sweat suit, 5 pair’s shorts, 1 sweater, pair of jeans, toilet articles. You do not have to bring your own basketball; we have plenty of our own on Camp.
When you arrive on camp, you will be asked if you want to deposit any money in the bank of the camp. The money you put into it cannot be lost or stolen. If you do not do that, any money or values you lose or that are potentially stolen cannot be replaced. At the end of the camp, any unspent money will be returned to you in full.

In order to keep the competition level even at camp, so young players won’t be able to play with seniors, we have a tryout system. The tryouts are games that our coaches observe to gage the ability of each camper and take notes. After tryouts camper goes to an orientation, where he gets the opportunity to ask questions. While that is going on our coaches, who watched the campers will discuss their abilities.
No. The camp is not allowed to operate a scouting service and own a camp at the same time. If you are interested, you could stay in touch with your camp coach and discuss about your improvement. If you do not get the information, we can provide it to you after camp.
Yes, each camp ends with an awards ceremony. Now awards are top secret, come and find out more about them…
Basic camp is generally meant for boys and girls from the age of 12 to 15. There are 3 levels depending on the age and previous knowledge of the attendees and thus enabling all of them to improve their techniques.
We also organize different advanced camps. Our top experts have made these camps possible. The choice of the right camp, training, instructions and lectures will help you to shape up yourself.

You don’t have to worry about that. There is always a coach assigned to each floor who takes care of all the activities including the meals, too.
We are open for both coaches and parents to view at all times activities are planned. Meals and lodging should be arranged by us, but it’s not necessary. We will not allow these things only in case that they disrupt our program.

The most important thing is to inform us about it on time, so we could arrange special diet at the restaurant. Please note your special requests on your application card or email us, at least 2 weeks prior to camp.
