Our camp training schedule for each player is split into two training sessions per day – with one in the morning and one in the late afternoon.
After the first training session in the morning, time is reserved for players education. We believe that psychological preparation for games is very important for every players overall development so they can perform at their best in competition. We incorporate appropriate lessons around this invaluable topic after our morning training sessions.
We also teach players about exercises that help their basketball development as well as how to lead a healthy lifestyle with good eating habits that support their basketball goals.
BDA Camps work closely with the European Institute of Sports and feature many of their leading lecturers as our guest speakers.
After lunch and obligatory rest, we go for our second training session of the day. Evenings are reserved for leisure time. We offer a number of Belgrade City tours and cultural excursions for players, parents and coaches.

All the coaches working with BDA Camps are highly-skilled, thoroughly trained and educated FIBA Licensed coaches. As the entire programme is run by Golden State Warriors Assistant Coach Dejan Milojevic, our camp coaching staff has been hand-picked primarily from his current or former assistants.

Coach Milojević is well-known across NBA circles as the coach who developed NBA 2-time MVP and perennial All-Star Nikola Jokić, of the Denver Nuggets. Born and raised in Belgrade, Coach Milojević has also coached and developed 6 other NBA players which include Boban Marjanovic (Dallas Mavericks), Ivica Zubac (LA Clippers), Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot (Brooklyn Nets), Goga Bitadze (Indiana Pacers), Vlatko Čančar (Denver Nuggets)and Adam Mokoka (Chicago Bulls) in addition to many other players who have gone on to play successfully in the Euroleague.
Golden State Warriors Assistant Coach Dejan Milojevic, co-owner of BDA International, is extremely well-connected and respected throughout the NBA and the highest levels of Serbian basketball. Each summer, players look forward to coming out and supporting BDA camps – as seen last summer at camp where the players from London were treated with a special guest visit from NBA and Euroleague star Nemanja Bjelica.
Bjelica spent time with the young players from London answering any and all questions they had in an extended Q&A, bringing them unrivalled access and to a NBA World Champion.
With a rich network of NBA and Serbian national talent always around the charismatic BDA coach, campers should always be ready to expect the unexpected at camp, with prestigious special guests dropping by to say ‘Hi’ and answer questions directly from the mouths of NBA and Euroleague stars.
