Our story

BIU was created from a friendly relationship that emerged a long time ago on both sides of the Atlantic, between American and European coaches. The purpose of this project is to extend basketball connections and to encourage cultural and language exchange in a globalized world.

Òscar Pardo

Co-founder

I heritage my passion for basketball from my parents and I really enjoyed as a player. Moreover, I have lived in Australia, Portugal and in Spain. From all these experiences what I loved the most was meeting new people, learning and improving a new language and discovering other mindsets. I would like you to have the same experience with the BIU Camp.

Nuria Castillo

Duquesne Dukes player

From a very young age, basketball is part of my life. I have enjoyed the championships finals in Spain and Catalonia, I have studied physical activity sciences in both Barcelona and England and have had the experience of living in the United States. I have been fortunate to be able to combine my passion and my profession that allows me to transmit and continue learning about the values of sacrifice and effort of the sport.

Hèctor Pardo

Co-founder

When I was 12 years old I turned my ACL, since then I learned to appreciate what means to be able to play this sport. I’ve been training basketball teams for 10 years now. When I am not coaching I’m teaching in a school. When a door closes, another one opens.
