CAMP HISTORY

In our 25th summer of camp, we take pride in being the original camp in Georgia to combine the team and fundamentals concept.  Many camps have developed during the past 14-15 years using our system.  The concept has proven to be successful and popular with players and coaches since 1976.  While we have maintained low camp fees we have continued to grow.  The outstanding group of coaches who have been members of our staff, plus players and attending coaches have helped accomplish this.

Our objective is to keep the enrollment of campers and teams at a size that can meet the needs of the team without losing sight of the individual participant.

After reviewing many other camp brochures, statements like “most competitive camp play in the nation,” “best camp in the state,” etc., appear on many of them.  The Number-One camp promises only that we will provide essentially the same or better experience while costing less than most.

Many Varsity and JV teams that have attended previous camps have experienced successful seasons.  Examples:  East Laurens, Jimmy Williams; Banks Co., Mike Ruth; St. Francis, Jack Teague; Cherokee Co., Rick Glasper; Forest Park, Lamar Oglesby, Gainesville, Todd Cottrell; Lakeview Academy, Seth Vining; Forsyth Central, Steve Barnes; North Forsyth, Bobby Pless; Coosa, John McFather; Tattnall Co., Doug Hassoll; Toombs Co., Donnie Arrington; Glascock Co., John Bowen; Commerce, Rex Gregg; Appling Co., Jessie Massey; Screven Co., Arthur Davis; Hawkinsville, Greg Ellison; Brooks, AL, Eric Tate; Dawson Co., Grady Turner;  GAC, Todd Wisenbaker and Allatoona, Marcus Hood.
