Spring Training League 2012 

MANDATORY PARENT & PLAYER ORIENTATION FOR ALL NEW PLAYERS: 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 and/or deposits, 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: Location of all three meetings: St. Francis Middle School in Roswell, GA  

  • Sunday, January 29, 4:00pm

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 Collegiate Prep Basketball Academy is proud to present our "Spring Training League" to develop middle and high school age players in an organized and competitive fashion.  Whether you are a rising college prospect, returning player interested in expanding your current role or a bubble player trying to give yourself a competitive edge going into next year's tryouts...this environment is for you.

Investment Schedule: We do not pay for advertising as a means to control our costs.  Again that is viewed as unnecessary "Fluff" which does nothing to get your child better.  We prefer to pass those savings on to our returning families who refer so many new players to our programs. Unlike everything else these days our prices never go up on you!
