Fitch Basketball Camp

What Corey McAdam, former Fairport standout and the 2006 AGR player of the year said about his experience at the camp:  

"I really liked the classroom sessions. The breakdown of videos showed the mistakes people make on the basketball court and illustrated what I could do to improve. This part of camp separated it from other camps. It was the best camp that I attended, and without a doubt helped me improve as a player."
