Secure Your Place
Tasos brings over 20 years in the game, including 15 years as a professional player in Greece's top divisions and in the British Basketball League with the Manchester Giants, alongside international representation for Greece at U18 and U21 level.
He has built extensive experience across youth coaching, player development, talent identification and player management, and lectures in sports business and athlete development at university level. His work extends globally, from developing the sport in India through grassroots programmes to supporting young players across the world at every stage of their journey.
His coaching philosophy is built entirely around holistic development, on the court and beyond it. Better players and better people.
The camp is built around a holistic development philosophy that goes beyond basketball skills alone.
Players develop technically, tactically, physically, psychologically and cognitively through a structured environment that challenges them to think faster, compete harder and perform under pressure.
Our goal is not only to develop better basketball players, but to help young athletes build the habits, confidence and performance skills that serve them long after the final whistle.
Players will train alongside coaches who have competed and worked at the highest level of the game - from the NBA and EuroLeague to the Olympics, WNBA and FIBA World Cup. Every session is designed to challenge, develop and elevate.
Joe Arlauckas
A EuroLeague legend named among the 101 Greats of European Basketball, Joe's playing career spanned the Sacramento Kings, Real Madrid and AEK Athens at the highest level of the game. Now a EuroLeague TV analyst, he brings the same sharp eye for spacing, tendencies and decision-making to player development that he applies on broadcast. If you follow EuroLeague or Liga Endesa, you already know the quality of his analysis - now applied directly to IBDC players. Joe is also a passionate advocate for developing life skills through the game, helping young players build habits and values that serve them both on and off the court.
Evina Maltsi
One of the most decorated players in the history of European women's basketball, Evina spent 21 years competing at the highest level - WNBA, Olympics, EuroBasket MVP and tournament top scorer, champion across Greece, Spain and France. Today she is General Manager of the Greek Women's National Team, Head Coach of the Antetokounmpo Basketball Academy, and Ambassador for girls' basketball development with the Hellenic Basketball Federation. She returns to IBDC for a second consecutive year because this programme aligns with everything she believes about developing young athletes - holistically, honestly, and with genuine care. For female players especially, a week with Evina is an experience they will carry long after the final whistle.
Babis Kaitantzidis
A specialist in player development and advanced video analysis, Babis has worked across some of the most competitive environments in European and Middle Eastern basketball. His club career includes Al Riyadi Beirut during their Asian Champions League title win, plus spells at PAOK BC, Larissa BC, Hapoel Gilboa Galil and Filou Oostende. He has also served on the coaching staff of the Lebanese Men's National Team for FIBA World Cup Asian Qualifiers. At IBDC 2026, Babis brings EuroLeague-level scouting and analysis to the programme for the first time - giving every player individual, data-backed feedback on their spacing, decision-making and technique. Players will learn exactly how professional scouts evaluate talent, then receive that analysis applied directly to their own game.
