SMWW / NetScouts Apprentice

For those interested in getting experience in scouting, I fully endorse the SMWW/ Netscouts apprenticeship. One thing that holds people back from their dreams of working in professional basketball is actually getting the real work experience. Other SMWW classes allow aspiring basketball professionals to learn specific skills this program allows you to actually apply them. The media access that this apprenticeship provides is the real cherry on top, it gave me just what I needed, more access to the Raptor 905.

Samuel Martell

NBA Scout

Working with the community of Sports Management Worldwide has been great! The assignments are structured very well throughout each 8-week course, but the biggest benefit you receive is the relationships you establish. I have taken two classes so far, and the connections and contacts I have made because of those two are priceless. If you are interested in sports as a profession, or even elevating your understanding/relationships, I highly recommend choosing SMWW.

Nick Mazzella

General Manager at Los Angeles D-Fenders

With work and school every day, I found it difficult to expand my knowledge in the sports field and fit a class with a fixed time into my busy schedule.The online Basketball GM course was a great fit for me; I was able to learn and complete my assignments at my own pace and on my own schedule. This course has also been a great tool for networking with individuals across the country that possess the same interests and career goals as I. The information I have obtained and the teachings that this course provides have been invaluable for my growth in the 'sports world' and I strongly recommend it to all those who would like to get a behind the scenes look at how an NBA Front Office functions.

National Scouting Report Scout

"The SMWW course covered a lot of information and helped me learn to identify the intangibles in players and to evaluate talent and categorize based on talent. At the National Scouting Report, I focus on Basketball, Baseball, and some Football and I help connect student-athletes with coaches at schools that need their talent set."
