One-on-One Challenge Board 

Each player has his name on a card on the board and challenges those above him in an attempt to reach the top.  As players win and lose they change positions on the rungs on the board.  This competition is on-going throughout the week.

Coach Mike Gaffey, is currently the Head Basketball Coach at Annville-Cleona High School. His Annville-Cleona team made school history by producing two 1,000 point scorers in the same season (2006-07). In addition, he was named the Lancaster-Lebanon League 2006-07 "Coach of the Year". He has also served as a Head Boys Basketball Coach at Susquenita, Palmyra and Steelton Highspire High Schools before going to Alvernia College as the Head J.V. Coach in 2002-03. His 1996 Palmyra team won the first school and county Boys District Championship in 40 years by upsetting Susquehanna Township (in the AAA title) 44-40 at Hershey Park Arena. His Alvernia College J.V. team set a school record by scoring 60 points in one half vs. LCCC on January 28, 2003.
Coach  Bill Gaffey (Mike's father) has totaled over 400 wins and won Four State Championships in three sports.  His 1979-80 team at Susquehanna Township in Harrisburg won the AA State Title with a state record 35 wins that season. He is the Executive Director of the Pennsylvania vs. Maryland All-Star Classic which is in its 32nd year! Gaffey produced double digit Division I Basketball players during the course of his career.
Mr. Tom Prystal was a three sport athlete in school and now runs a very detail oriented Basketball Scouting Service that provides information to over 200 colleges and universities.  He spends the entire week at the camp scrutinizing the progress of the players and evaluating their potential to play in college.

 

Dear Player:

 

Our week of camp is unique for advanced players because we have you train and compete at a high level of competition. We have numerous AAU players that will come to us at the end of their summer schedule to stay sharp and learn the game for the next level.

 

 In addition, we will have the "Prystal" Scouting Service there to evaluate and rate our players at the camp. Feel free to contact me with any questions. Good luck this summer!

 

Yours in Hoops,
