Basketball Tours in Argentina and Uruguay
14 days
A two country basketball tour. Basketball has deep roots in Uruguay, where the national side won Olympic bronze medals in the 1950s and Montevideo's neighbourhood clubs still fill their gyms. We pair Montevideo with Buenos Aires and the Argentine coast, so a touring team sees two countries and two styles of play. Cole was general manager of the Taranaki Airs, so basketball is a game we know, and games are arranged for your level once we are planning together. When to go: plan for the cooler months. Junior basketball in Montevideo and Buenos Aires is played through the school year, and July is the heart of it.
