HIDDEN GEMS BASKETBALL

Our goal will be to attract as many quality universities as possible to each and every event and to provide personal, consistent assistance with each connection built during the process. Players of all levels of skill will be accepted and a balance will be established to ensure each level of college has several recruiting prospects involved in the event. Our Autumn, Spring, & Summer events will focus more on the true Hidden Gems of the basketball world and give them an even playing field for establishing collegiate connections. $50-$70 per player, $5-$7 per visitor over the $85-$225 usually charged for players/colleges and the $10-$25 charged at the door for each person.
