Elite Basketball Camp Brings International Coaching Experience To Malta

A strong international line-up of basketball coaches and former professional players will come to Malta this September for the Elite Basketball Camp 2026, giving young local players the opportunity to experience coaching influenced by both the American and European game.

The four-day camp will take place from September 7 to 10 at the Malta Basketball Association National Stadium in Ta’ Qali and is open to players aged between 7 and 18.

Among the headline names is former WNBA star Andrea Stinson, a three-time WNBA All-Star who enjoyed a distinguished professional career in the United States and Europe. She will be joined by Sean Kilmartin, founder and chairman of USA Select Basketball and a former NCAA Division I player with extensive experience in youth development.

The coaching staff will also feature Bart Sengers, head coach of the Netherlands women’s national team, former professional player and skills coach Terell Smith of Smith Elite Training, and Bettina Jones, head coach of Colorado Realm.

Completing the coaching team is Maltese performance coach Ruben Baldacchino, who holds an MSc in Performance Coaching from the University of Stirling and has experience working within NCAA Division I basketball programmes in the United States.

The camp will focus on individual skills, decision-making, game situations and competitive play, while exposing players to different coaching philosophies.

The event forms part of a wider week of international basketball in Malta, alongside the Elite Basketball Tournament Malta from September 8 to 11.
