2019-20 Last Season in Spain

The world stopped due to COVID-19, and our 2019-20 season finished months early due to the pandemic. It was a competitive season with another Portugal Pro Tour. All airlines were stopping flights, so we had to get our players out of Europe, or they would be stranded during the pandemic. We needed help getting student visas for our student-athletes under 18. Back in the United States during the lockdown, we charted our next move to keep our player development and opportunities moving forward.

Goodbye, Marbella, Spain, and Hello, Belgrade, Serbia. Time has proven that our moves benefited young Americans seeking pro careers.
