Our camp each year has been a huge success, many of you who participated are now prospects and we are seriously considering for scholarships for 2017 season. We hope to see you at this camp. You can come for any number of days you like, but we need at least two days to give you a proper evaluation.

All our coaches will be on hand, and we will also be inviting other college coaches. Coach Scala has been conducting these Prospect Camps for the past 13 years and it has been one of our greatest vehicles to find talented players for our program. Many student athletes like yourself who attended these camps have been either signed to scholarships or followed more closely through the upcoming year. We strongly urge you to consider this opportunity. We have been sold out in the past because we only take the first 45 players. You must be a 2017 or 2018 graduate to attend.
