What Officials Say
Thanks for this camp and the opportunity to learn from the best — not just about officiating, but about life. I appreciate it and look forward to rising to the moment when it comes.
The staff was great — honest, supportive, and provided constructive feedback. I'd highly recommend this camp to anyone looking to gain insights they won't find anywhere else and develop their crew-chief mentality, on-court presence, and overall performance.
I got some crazy information, insight, and feedback that I've never gotten anywhere before — extremely effective. So worth my time, money, and investment. I was able to connect with JD, Albert Battista, and other really good people. One of the best investments I've made in myself.
I really love the family aspect, but also the accountability aspect of your camps. Always trying to improve every single day — thank you so much.
Thank you for such a great camp! I greatly appreciate all of your time, dedication, and support. Looking forward to seeing you again in October!
Thank you again for the opportunity to attend camp and observe. It was very helpful to me in many ways. Congrats to you and your staff for an excellent weekend.
Great camp — learned some good stuff and met good clinicians and campers to talk to. Hopefully I'll see you at NBA Summer League, and if not, in October at Spooky Nook.
Appreciate the invite to the camp! I really got better this weekend, and I appreciate you continuing to look out.
