How are basketball leagues structured in Israel?

I understand that their is the Israel super league which is the top league in Israel. But how does a player get to try out for one of these teams? Is their college basketball or a sub league over there?How are basketball leagues structured in Israel?
To answer you,Ligat HaAl comprises the top ten basketball clubs in Israel, and was founded in 1954.



The league itself is most known in Europe due to the success of the Israeli teams in the European competitions such as the Euroleague, ULEB Eurocup (formerly ULEB Cup) and FIBA's EuroChallenge (formerly EuroCup). Many undrafted and free agent players from Europe and the NBA play in the Israeli league as an alternative to NBA competition.



The league is the first division in Israeli basketball: the two teams that finish last in a season are relegated to the Second Division, while the Second Division's top 8 teams compete in a play-off system right after the end of the regular season, with the teams that reach the final series being promoted to the Premier League for the following season. The four teams that finish the season on top in Ligat HaAl compete against each other for the Championship title in a "Final Four" tournament format.
