ISRAEL BASKETBALL EXPERIENCE
2026-2027
Are you a high school graduate looking for the ultimate Gap Year experience?
The Israel Basketball Experience (IBE) for the 2026-27 season is now open for athletes (ages 18-21) who want to live, play, and connect. Managed by the IBE team at Maccabi World Union in Israel, this program offers a professional athletic framework in the heart of Tel Aviv.
You’ll play in the Israeli “Bet League,” train daily with top coaches, and build your profile for the next level—all while being fully immersed in Israeli life. From Hebrew Ulpan and professional internships to traveling the country, this is your chance to experience Israel through the game you love.
Don’t just visit Israel—live it on and off the court.
