Dear Top 100 Camper,
Once again, congratulations on being selected as a Top 100 high school basketball player. We are very excited that you have accepted the National Basketball Players Association’s invitation to attend the 24th Annual Top 100 Camp.
It is approximately one month away from the start of camp. We thought it would be helpful to highlight several things that could make your travel easier.
Consider packing all of your essential items in a carry-on bag* Baggage fees may apply when checking bags. Baggage fees are not reimbursable.
Check in on-line 24 hours in advance to avoid long lines at the airport
Arrive at the airport early to avoid long security lines * 2 hours prior to departure for domestic flights, 3 hours prior for international flights
We also want to encourage your parents or guardians to attend this year’s Top 100 Parent Program. The Top 100 Camp can be a learning experience for them, just as it is for you.
Previous Parent Programs have focused on:
• Gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges you will face and how to navigate them• Relationship-building and networking with other parents• Learning how a student-athlete copes with the pressures associated with the recruiting process
For more information about the Parent Program, please contact Keyon Dooling at 212-655-0939.
We look forward to seeing you in June. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any questions.
Kind Regards,
Roy HinsonSenior Regional Director
