 The
One-on-One Challenge Board
is always very popular with both the NBA (high school) and the NCAA (junior
high). 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. |

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.
Some of our more popular alumni include: Tristan Crawford (2,000 point scorer) from AAA Steel-High. In addition, Ryan Hill who signed with Division 1 Bucknell University was the MVP in 2008. Jordan Hill who just finished his first season playing for Joe Paterno has been a 5 year attendee like Ryan Hill who started coming since the 5th grade! The camp had players attend from the following programs: Hempfield, Steel High, Susquehanna Twp, Lampeter Strasburg, Cedar Crest, Lebanon, ELCO, Lebanon Catholic, Bishop McDevitt, Susquenita, Upper Dauphin, Dallastown, York Suburban, Holy Ghost Prep, Harrisburg High, Hazleton,Wyoming Valley West, Reading Central Catholic, Governor Mifflin, Reading Holy Name, Wyomissing, Allentown Central Catholic, Parkland, Easton, Simon Gratz, Philadelphia GAMP, Oxford, Hatboro Horsham, St. Mary's, Palmyra, Hershey and West York!
That gives you an idea of the competition level at our camp. In addition, we will provide you with the "workout routine" that you need to perfect your game for next year's season!
