One of my players tragically lost both his parents within 3 weeks due to COVID. Andy is a great young man and has decided to come back and finish his degree - please take the time to share this fundraiser to help support him. Thanks 🙏

Some people look at showcase camps as “money grabs” & some are…
BUT - a few kids just made themselves $120,000+ in scholarships over the next 4 years tonight at ours‼️
My advice: if you are not good enough to play at “x” university - don’t pay. If you are & are interested. GO.
