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.

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

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.
