You will be pre-assigned a team and number and are not allowed to switch
teams or uniform numbers. We will provide a program for the many scouting
services in attendance that has the pre-assigned team listing and uniform

basketball gear. Players will return their jersey top at the end of the
event. Camp T-shirts will be given out.
Remember, this is strictly an exposure camp that allows each player an
opportunity to showcase their skills! Being selfish and not sharing the
ball is not a skill. We do not keep track of points and we are looking for
well rounded players that play both ends of the court and plays hard and
with a purpose.

things such as athleticism, skill and the ability to play within a team
structure. Remember, “Ball hogging” is not a skill!”
