Atlanta Vision News Release
ATLANTA, GA - July 10, 2006- Atlanta Vision, Atlanta's new professional basketball team, announces their Open Player Tryout Camp for the 2006-2007 Vision season on Saturday, July 29th and Sunday, July 30th. The tryout camp will be conducted at the Samson's Center located at 6400 Woodrow Road in Lithonia, GA 30038. "This will be one of the biggest events & greatest opportunities for aspiring athletes," declares Vision owner, Quentin Townsend. "We utilize our tryout camps to identify those that have been overlooked, undervalued, and underutilized. We provide a stage to excel and expose those that have the talent, will, and desire to compete at the next level. Our last season tryout camp SOLD OUT and produced 10 of our 15 roster players, 3 starters, and our 2005-06 MVP."
Atlanta Vision is looking to defend their ABA Divisional Championship Title and expand their roster to invite approximately 25 players to Vet Camp that starts on November 1st. Each tryout camp participant will endure a mock "NBA pre-draft camp" under the watchful eye and direction of NBA veteran and Atlanta Vision General Manager, Dennis Scott. "Our organization is the best place for a basketball player to become a professional," states Scott, "We are serious about building a championship organization and nurturing talent."
Tryout camp participants will be exposed to true vital measurements, strength conditioning, invited professional coaches, team owners, trainers, and scouts. Interested participants can register directly online and download the Atlanta Vision Tryout Camp application at the team's website, www.theatlantavision.com. Early registration is highly recommended due to the sold-out camps of last year. Participants must provide completed application materials, including a $150 registration fee due by Friday, July 19th for an early registration discount. After July 19th, the fee will be $200 only if spots are still available. Applications can also be picked up at the Samson's Center, Monday through Friday before 7:00pm.
