Mission Statement:
To provide College Bound Players an opportunity to showcase their skills at 3 college viewing tournaments every July. We are looking for College Bound Athletes who want to play college ball.
Goal:
(1) Gain exposure to college coaches across the nation and Colorado (2) Play with and against the best players in the country. (3) Learn the recruiting process to fulfill your dream of playing college basketball and receive the marketing tools to do so.
WHAT is included: We provide each player with a Website (player profile) and we provide unlimited promotion to colleges through email communication. This promotion continues until the player is recruited. This service is FREE! This service would normally cost $3000 or more from a marketing firm. We provide players with college coaches contact information as well. We teach you how to contact colleges and the focus of our season is to promote college bound players.
Our main goal is recruitment. We look for players who play across the state 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A and 5A. We will have a few practices to prepare our team for college viewing. Players from around the state who have a dream to play college ball are encouraged to pre-register. Our past players have come from the Front Range all cities, Pueblo, Buena Vista, Dove Creek, Salida, Kim, Hi-Plains, Paonia, Rocky Ford and Wray. Whether you're from a small town in Colorado or anywhere in Colorado and you want to play on a club team that Markets you and teaches you how to market yourself to college coaches - this could be the right fit for you. Limited practice commitment - but talent is required. Many references available upon request!
Travel Arrangements:
We travel as a team on direct non stop flights, the girls room together in hotels or hotel suits and the team rides in a 12 passenger van. We also have planned activities.
Parents are welcome at all tournaments except when we travel by air. Like summer camp the players will say goodbye to their families and be dropped off at the airport. We do this because it is hard on the girls if the parents travel. They are torn between their team and their family and we want the focus on the team. Our schedule next year will include the End of the Oregon Trail July 6th - 9th 2010, MSNM Seattle July 9-13th 2010, USJN Denver July 26th - 30th 2010 and 2 additional tournaments or MAYB tournaments in Colorado, NE or KS. We will only be traveling by air for the End of the Trail and MSNM Seattle (one round trip flight). We will play in 3 NCAA tournaments!! Estimated cost per player for 2010 is $2500.00 per player (includes all tournament entries, gym rental, Cost for coaches and videographer to travel, video of all games and 1 copy per player for each game 2 nice sitdown team dinners included, all dinners, daily team activities, two-three activities that cost money like Jet Boat or Boat rides, airfare, really nice hotels ($200 + a night), van, insurance and gas).
