Spring Training League 2012:  High School Division

MANDATORY PARENT & PLAYER ORIENTATION FOR ALL NEW PLAYERS

The location for the Mandatory Orientation will be held at the Roswell location in the main gym at St. Francis Middle School, 9375 Willeo Road. This orientation is for all first time players and at least one parent or legal guardian.  We will cover our player standards and expectations, league goals and objectives, facility requirements, scheduling, accept registration payments, size for uniforms and answer all questions.  The attendance of (1) orientation meeting is mandatory.  To guarantee the arrival of your uniform by the week of February 27th you need to attend one of the first two meetings.  Anyone who registers after February 13th will receive their uniform the week of March 5th. Below are three dates to choose from:  

  • Sunday, January 29, 4:00pm
  • Monday, February 13, 7:00pm
  • Sunday, February 19, 1:00pm
YES, ALL NEW PLAYERS MUST ATTEND THE LAST ORIENTATION MEETING IF YOU HAVE NOT ATTENDED ONE OF THE FIRST TWO OFFERED! All Sessions SOLD OUT Last Year!  PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THE DIVISIONS AND LOCATION AVAILABILITY!!! The goal of this program is to provide a highly competitive environment in which players will expand their individual skills while executing game specific concepts in a team format.  We will duplicate the "proven" program already executed while adding live game action on a weekly basis.  This program is available for boys and girls

All players involved who have proven college ability, will have their personal profiles sent to applicable college recruiters.  Our database consists of every college basketball office within 300 miles of Atlanta, GA as well as personal contacts developed by our staff members over the years.  Each college coaching staff in our database will receive a personal invitation to attend any and all Collegiate Prep sessions on their own behalf.  We also will not charge a fee to these college coaches.  We want to encourage their attendance, facilitate their recruiting efforts while marketing our current players who are legitimate college prospects at any level.   

Coach Tucker can jump start and facilitate your recruiting process by possessing an intricate working knowledge of the needs, habits, procedures, and budget constraints of college programs. By successfully recruiting (see About Collegiate Prep and Exemplary Players pages) at the Div. III, junior college and Div. I level at both Western Kentucky and Georgia, Coach Tucker understands the recruiting guidelines of the NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA.
