Player Opportunities

Dear Player / Coach:

The WASHINGTON GENERALS basketball team is seeking players to tour the United States and the world with the famous Harlem Globetrotters! This is an outstanding opportunity to break into professional basketball while playing for a 58 year nationally recognized organization.

The Generals have played in over 120 countries, making them one of the most traveled basketball teams in history. Generals’ players have assisted the Trotters in pioneering basketball around the world as well as serving as United States ambassadors of the sport. We play the game at a high level and push the ‘Trotters to play their best. The Generals serve an important role in the Globetrotters tours and realize the final score does not always define winners.

Washington Generals players receive a competitive salary and visit exotic locales. Europe, Asia, South America, and China are just a few of the places the Generals have helped introduce the game and continue to visit regularly. In addition, many Generals make contacts enabling them to play for the Globetrotters as well as foreign teams, or to secure coaching positions and outstanding professional careers.

An ideal prospect for the Washington Generals can strike a balance between sports and entertainment. He is fundamentally sound, has used all of his NCAA eligibility and is in possession of a valid US passport (or is in the application process). Interested players must also submit references and game footage.
