Camp Rockfish Set For
June 26-30 In SFV--(Mar. 6, 2000)

What: Camp Rockfish
Dates: June 26-30
Location: Reseda High School
Who: Boys Only, 4th-8th grade

We received an announcement from our friends at Rockfish several weeks ago (actually it was almost a month ago. . . but we've just been swamped), and so this is the first chance we've had to write about this new camp. It's called, predictably, "Camp Rockfish."

"Camp Rockfish" is a day camp for boys only [so they're not PC. . .talk to them not to us--Ed.], who are currently in 4th through 8th grade. The camp is for players who are interested in learning fundamentals and improving skills. Players who have been associated with the Los Angeles Rockfish program will work the camp as counselors along with experienced coaches.

Camp Information: The morning session of the first day of camp (6/26) will be spent registering each camper, outfitting each camper, and splitting the campers up into teams by age to evaluate their level of ability in order to give each camper the best experience possible. Campers will go to various "stations" where different fundamentals and skills will be taught and worked on. All campers will be responsible for bringing their own lunch. Lunch will be eaten in the gym by all campers who will observe the Rockfish counselors play and, and there will be a speaker who will give various instruction on aspects of the game. After lunch campers will receive additional individual and group work on skills, shooting, and the like, and then each camper will participate in a full game.

The camp will be operated by the LA Rockfish (i.e., Recruiting USA), and by Malcom Norrington, who is the Head Varsity Boy's Basketball Coach at LA Reseda HS. Each day of camp will begin at 9:00 am (campers may be dropped off as early as 8 am).

Now comes the important question: Price. . . For a limited time Camp Rockfish is offering a Y2K special price of $129.00, which is $50.00 off the regular price of $179.00. Checks and money orders are fine, and should be made payable to "Recruiting USA." This offer is good for just a short while. . . [note, it's subject to change at any time. . . they had originally contemplated just for the the month of February, but then we didn't post this in time, so it's been extended through March, or so we're told].

"Camp Rockfish" will be limited to the first 144 boys who sign up, and space is limited, so sign up early.

If you have any questions or need further information contact Mark Mayemura or Dave Benezra at Recruiting USA (818) 783 - 2244, or (818) 783 - 2212 between the hours of 9am to 9 pm And if you need to mail them something [and our guess is they'd like everyone to stuff some money in an envelope and just mail it off. . . but then suggesting that is what got Soupy Sales into trouble--Ed.] you can write to them at: Recruiting USA
