Daily training. Real games. International travel. Talata Academy is for players who want to take this seriously and build a life around the sport.
Most kids play basketball once or twice a week. Academy kids play almost every day. Monday through Friday mornings and afternoons, games on the weekend. We build real players here.
It's not just basketball. We do strength and conditioning with James. Film sessions so players understand the game, not just run through it. Travel to other countries to play teams they would never see in Denmark. That's how development actually happens.
The whole thing is built around one idea. Basketball is the tool we use to prepare kids for whatever life throws at them next. Discipline, teamwork, showing up when it's hard, handling losses, handling wins. That's the real curriculum.
Six team sessions a week at Svanemøllehallen and Kulturhuset Indre By. 10 hours of basketball education.
DBBF league games in Denmark. EYBL international stages in Hungary, Romania, and beyond.
Built in weekly. Not an add-on. Players leave stronger, fitter, and sharper than they came in.
Coaches who played and coached at a high level. Players get feedback that actually helps them get better.
Multiple countries. Denmark, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania, Sweden. Players come back different.
Academy alumni have moved on to play abroad. The connections and exposure are there for players who earn them.
The proof is the players who came through.
One of the top prep programs in North America for players chasing a professional career. Malthe came up through Talata. Trained here, competed here, grew his game here in Copenhagen. His commitment is proof that the work done in this gym translates at the highest level.
Six team sessions a week, all at Svanemøllehallen. Mornings before school, afternoons after, and Saturday mornings. Games on the weekends.

Academy fees cover everything. Training, games, uniforms, referees, gym rentals, and the DBBF and EYBL fees that come with real competition.
Travel to EYBL stages (Budapest, Bucharest, Spain, Italy, Germany and more) is billed separately per trip. We tell families well in advance so you can plan.
Spots are limited. Tell us about your player and we'll set up a trial session so we can see them on the court.
