Recent South Dakota State graduate and men's basketball standout Ben Beran joined a group of 12 current and former collegiate basketball players to spend 16 days competing against the top level professional teams in Bulgaria and in the Czech Republic as a member of the Athletes in Action international touring men's basketball team.
Headed by longtime college head coach and current AIA Staff member Morris Michalski, the team arrives in Sofia, Bulgaria on May 24, and then heads off to the city of Sliven for a four-day training camp before beginning to compete with professional and national teams.
Following their time in Sliven, the AIA team returns to Sofia to play four games in three days and conduct a coach's clinic for the top teams of the Bulgarian Basketball Federation.
On June 1, the team moves on to the Czech Republic's Olympic Training Center in Nymburk and plays three games against the senior and junior national teams of the Czech Republic.
The team finishes its tour in Prague with a pair of games and some sightseeing.
There the team will sightsee, conduct further service opportunities and play two more games with pro teams.
