More Summer Camp & Clinic
Stuff Around SoCal--(June 9, 1999)

We can't possibly provide information about every camp taking place this summer in and around SoCal. There are literally hundreds of basketball camps taking place throughout the region, in addition to the "big" camps like the adidas Double Pump West Coast All Stars Camps, the Rim Rattler All West Camp, the San Diego Superstars Camp, and the rest that we've already posted. We've tried to list the ones that we think will provide the best instruction and which are the most competitive, and while we can't vouch for all of them, and we won't pretend to do so, there are more that we hear about every day. These are just the latest ones we've been asked to pass along, and we're happy to do so:
