After the NBA, the college basketball playoff could be one of the highest level of basketball in the world. To be able to play college basketball as an international you have to be one of the best basketball players of your age group in your country especially if you want to play with a college basketball scholarship.

Basketball is one of the toughest sports in college athletics and you must be willing to work hard and compete for your place in the team to earn your college basketball scholarship.

As a high school basketball player a good idea could be to attend college basketball camps as well as enter tournaments outside your high school. This will increase your exposure and help with your college basketball recruiting process.

While in many other sports the level is higher internationally, basketball is the sport where the level in USA is higher than any other countries. That’s why college coaches are not looking to recruit international basketball players as actively as they do in other sports.

That makes it harder for international basketball players to get recruited with an basketball scholarship.

Lately there has been an increase of international basketball players in college basketball, mostly thanks to the good success of the current international basketball players.

The college basketball season begins in the middle of the fall term (august) and universities often only accept players to enter in august. However you often have to attend the summer pre season training.
