Nor Cal Preps' Middle School Basketball Camp

Middle School Student Athletes

Get Opportunity  To Learn The Game

Thousands of kids each year dream of becoming a college athlete; most never learn "what it takes" to achieve that dream. For middle school boys who live in Northern California, now that dream can become a reality.

On October 30th & 31st, Nor Cal Preps will offer an Evaluation Camp for Middle School student athletes. The camp will be held El Cerrito High School in El Cerrito. The camp will begin at 10:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. each day.

It is for Middle School boys in 6th through 8th grade who seek valuable exposure and information on the process.

During this basketball camp all players will compete in four (4) structured games, skill drill sessions, and spend time learning about the educational & psychological requirements of making it as a collegiate athlete.

To register for any of the camps students or parents can go online to:

Nor Cal Preps

For more information or camp specifics, parents or kids can contact the Event Director Carl Foster at (888) 732-8309. Each player will be evaluated by the Scouting Committee from NCP during the camp.

The cost is $110 per player to participate in the event.

Registration information is available online.
