Hello, I’m Pete Gorman, a member of the Ramapo Men’s Basketball Team and a graduate of Mater Dei High School in Middletown, N.J. I’ve been invited to join the USA Garden State Basketball Team for a trip to Croatia to compete against international competition. The team will have a training camp in Dubrovnik and compete in four games during our June Croatian Tour 2024.

Your contribution will allow members of the Inaugural 2024 USA Garden State Basketball Team a once-in-a-lifetime experience to compete against club and national teams preparing us for the 2024-2025 season while experiencing the educational and cultural traditions of Croatia.

Any contribution made is very much appreciated and is a tax deductible contribution through our sponsor the Team Hill Foundation (Tax ID #27-3338006). Due to NCAA rules, athlete agents are prohibited from donating to this GoFundMe.

USA Garden State Basketball has started the selection process to fill the rosters for two separate European tours next summer, with one originating in Dubrovnik, Croatia, on June 1, and the other departing from Rome, Italy, on August 10.

The latest tours follow a highly-successful 10-day USA Garden State Basketball European tour throughout Croatia and Slovenia last June.

Both tours will again take place via Seabourn Cruise Lines, as was the case during the inaugural trip last June. They are co-sponsored by the non-profit Team Hill Foundation.

College-aged players with ties to New Jersey – which includes either playing at a New Jersey college, having attended a New Jersey high school or having New Jersey roots – are eligible to participate.

The first tour will run from June 1 through June 8, starting in Dubrovnik. Stops include Koto, Montenegro; Gallipoli, Italy; Sarande, Albania; Zakinthos, Greece; Nafplion, Greece, and Athens, Greece.

The second tour runs from Aug. 10 through Aug. 20 and starts in Rome. Stops include Amalfi, Italy; Lipari, Italy, Valletta, Malta; Mgarr/Gozo, Malta; Trapani, Italy; La Goulette, Tunisia; La Ciotat, France, and Rosas, Spain.

Games will take place at a variety of stops during both tours. For more information on the upcoming tours, as well as the inaugural tour last June, visit usagardenstatebasketball.com.
