Being the big hoops fan that I am, I remembered a story i had heard about Orlando Magic player Jameer Nelson, arranging for his teammates to go to Philadelphia to train and bond together in the offseason. You can read about it here Summer Training Camp

They are now into their fourth year of running it, and with a finals appearance last year they appear to be on a winner and it got me thinking that it would be a fantastic idea for the MFC, or the players themselves to organize a couple of houses for the summer out near Casey for our core of younger players to train and bond together for the summer, without having to worry about the travel factor that Brock alluded to. Meals and extra weight sessions under a supervised eye could be arranged, and it would be also great for our relations in the Casey area to have some Demon faces around the place. I am not sure if it an expense we could handle, but it would be a fantastic initiative nonetheless.

Sure, Bonding at an early age can never be a bad thing, even some of the older guys could get involved. Long as there is some sort of loose supervision so that things don't get crazy.

Yes it could be great PR for casey, but badly handled it could just as easy be a nightmare!

Contact the club about it. The Idea has sure got legs

Jerry...thats a bloody great idea... and I too suggest you contact the club forthwith..and pronto...like now

great idea.

cost may be the problem tho..

still, id send MFC that 'Philly - summer training camp' story, along with your ideas..

I could see that working. Great thought. As a young guy myself, I can understand how they'd feel, and it would be a benefit.

haha god darn it i mentioned this last week in the Brock McLean thread and noone replied to my idea haha

All for the concept in general, but in Casey?? Why would young guys want to spend a week in Casey? Perhaps down by the beach somewhere may be a little more enticing during summer.
