Dear Parents, - This is your child’s invitation to a special summer basketball camp. Too often young players are “lost in the shuffle” at camps as coaches devote their time and attention to older players. Now is the time your child’s basketball awareness and moral values are formed. His or her approach to the game is at the stage where influence is of the utmost importance.

We think it is important that your child have an opportunity to develop and learn from college players, high school and college coaches. We have assembled such a staff, and their example and influence will heighten your child’s love for basketball and awareness of what it takes to succeed. Your child will also learn valuable lessons about the importance of academics, citizenship and attitude during informal discussion sessions with Steve Alford and some of the outstanding college student-athletes on our staff.
