NORFOLK, Va. – The Old Dominion University men’s basketball team has been preparing for its upcoming academic and athletic trip to Spain. The Monarchs will depart Norfolk on the morning of Tuesday, Aug. 16 and arrive back to campus on Thursday, Aug. 25.
“Obviously the basketball component is really big, but it is a great opportunity for the young men in our program from a cultural perspective,” said head coach Jeff Jones. “Getting a chance to go to Europe, to see a different culture and a different country is huge. A lot of our guys have never been outside of the United States, so it will be a great experience.
