The NorCal Finest Super 100

This is something long needed, a serious marrying of basketball skills development with strength and conditioning training featuring professionals at the top of their respective fields.

The morning session will include skill clinics by Jeremy Russotti and Nationally Recognized Specialist Alan Stein, with the afternoon featuring situational competitions plus games.

Best of all, it's free to the participants -- yes, free of charge. The plan is for this event to never have an entry fee:

1% CLUB Basketball Presents the Premier Event for NorCal Basketball
The NorCal Finest Super 100

What is the NorCal Finest?

The NorCal Finest Super 100 is an invitation only event for the top 100 basketball players in the NorCal Region. The event is the brainchild of 1% CLUB Basketball’s Jeremy Russotti, who is considered by many to be the top basketball skill specific trainer, as well as product developer in the United States.

He offers a variety of training services nationwide and internationally and his company, 1% CLUB Basketball, specializes in bringing functional basketball specific training and drills to help coaches and players maximize their potential.

Russotti explained, "I am excited to be a part of this wonderful event. I've had this vision for years. However, the only way I wanted the event to occur if it was 100% free to the players. Basketball training and product development has been a huge vehicle for me to meet new people, to travel to speaking engagements, to help players across the country and also work with professional clients. It is time to give back to NorCal and unite the talent we have and continually strive to get better."

Partnering with Del Monte Foods and Scholar Athletes INC, 1% CLUB Basketball is excited to make NorCal Finest Super 100 the premier event in the region - providing a resource for top players to further their commitment and achievement in the basketball arena.

1% CLUB Basketball and Scholar Athletes INC are working hard to show these players what it takes not only to reach and be successful in college, but also how to set goals and plans for their future professional careers.

Russotti explained, "NorCal has had an influx of talent recently that has gained national attention. With proper training and programs, I feel NorCal can be a hot bed in producing consistent NBA talent. We are hoping the NorCal Finest Super 100 event can be the facilitator for future programs, communication, and NorCal coming together for one purpose."

The NorCal Finest will no doubt bring greater awareness to the regions abundant student-athlete pool. Also, the event will include National Recognized Body Enhancement Specialist Alan Stein (Nike), as well as local coaches, putting on clinics for the players and local coaches in attendance. "Alan Stein is considered the top at what he does. If NorCal players want to reach an elite level, it is important to surround them with as many top professional minds as possible, and hopefully fire up their intrinsic motivation," Russotti said.

  1. Kevin,

    Quick question...... Alan Stein had a letter that was published on your site a few months ago about possible trainings in the bay area with a pretty high price tag attached, how is this event funded if everyone is going for free? Is Slam and Jam and the Soldiers subsidizing the event?

  2. My understanding is the Alan Stein event possibility referenced in the note above was a stand alone item, completely separate from the NorCal Finest Super 100.

    Del Monte is listed as a sponsor the Norcal Finest Super 100 so some $$$ will come from that direction.

    Slam and Jam is probably kicking something into the kitty too.

  3. To answer your question, Alan Stein is a close friend and business partner with 1% CLUB Basketball. He is coming in as a favor and to showcase his skills in the NorCal region.

    He will be doing a separate clinic on Sunday the 18th at Solano CC in Fairfield that will not be free (what you referred to from previous blog). However, the NorCal Finest event is invitation only (list coming soon). The event is completely funded by 1% CLUB Basketball, www.hoopgainstraining.com, and Del Monte Foods.

    Hope that answers your questions.
