EMPIRE STATE TAKEOVER Girls Fall Event

Hot off the heels of a successful first summer for Empire State Takeover, the high level hoops will continue in the early fall with EST's inaugural highly competitive one-day fall exposure event. With much of the top talent in NY's Capital District, Central NY, Southern Tier, Western NY, the Hudson Valley, North Country, Long Island, western/central MA, CT, and VT being involved with this talent showcase, it will be a true barometer of talent for all who participate. Hopefully, this will be you as well! Details for the GIRLS event are below.

Date: Sunday, October 4 (10/4/15)
Time: 9:30 (registration 8:30-9:30) - will end between 2:00-4:00 depending on amount of players
Site: Union College (Schenectady, NY)
For: Girls from Class of 2016 (seniors) to Class of 2020 (8th grade)
Cost: $75 (Jersey included)

The event will consist of a warmup (fast break drills) and a 3 game guarantee for all players, much like most exposure events. Along with that, however, is a guaranteed individual/small group skill work session. All players will participate in a position-based skills & drills session during one of their team's 'off' hours.

The individual skills session will be led by EJ Gallup and TJ Czeski. Both are very qualified and have been to the level that everyone attending is reaching for. Gallup, a Gloversville graduate, played Division I collegiate basketball at UAlbany and Coastal Carolina. He then played overseas in Germany and is still regarded as arguably the best pure shooter in the area. Czeski graduated from Amsterdam and played collegiate ball at Division I Wagner - he was a dual sport athlete, playing both basketball and football, in the last couple years.

Per the NCAA recruiting calendar, this will be an event that all programs except for Division I schools can attend. As usual for Empire State Takeover events, all NCAA Division II, Division III, NJCAA, NAIA, and prep schools in the Northeast & Mid-Atlantic will individually be sent information about the event and invited to attend. Regional scouting services will also receive this info and invite.

Checks for the specific amount should be made payable to Jeff Mlinar with Empire State Takeover in the memo line on the bottom left. The mailing address to send a check (payment can also be brought directly to the event on 10/4):

206 Western Ave. Apt. #1
Albany, NY 12203

If you plan on participating in this showcase on October 4 and you did not play in the Empire State Takeover summer league, you will need to submit event packet information so your info can be seen by college coaches that attend! Access the form for the event packet info at www.empirestatetakeover.org/en/Forms/, and it can be completed & submitted 100% online.

Walk-ins will be accepted as long as there is room, but all walk-ins will be charged at the $100 rate. If you are a walk-in, there is no guarantee of you receiving a jersey. That depends on if there are any extras available.

If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me using any of the contact info below. Those who did not participate this summer - believe me when I say this is where the top players and attention will be on October 4. I sincerely hope to see you in attendance at Union College!
