SENIOR: players between 19 and 25 years old
Within those groups, we should have 3 categories:
LOW:
You thought you were good… well you got mad skills but just in your neighbourhood, make sure by the end of the week you move onto the MID category and you prove the coaches wrong.
MID:
You are a decent player, you are part of the main stream, you have skills here and there but you are not outstanding. This camp is a real opportunity for you to develop your skillsand to stand out from the crowd. Get the MVP silverware and you get a AMW treat!
HIGH:
You got skills, no doubt about it; you might even be a real prospect for all the scouts and coaches attending the camp but the question now is how far could you push your limits, basketball wise, mentally and physically. Real pro ballers are those who can handle pressure, hardwork and give 100% at all time. If you are the chosen one like LeBron, AMW will guarantee the hook up!!!
