Philosophy
The Bernick's Pepsi Premier Summer League provides the opportunity for competition and strengthens the awareness of the game of basketball. Shooting, ball-handling drills, defense, and other skills are important for the individual to practice, but it's just as important to work as a team member to develop the total player. This tournament is for players already on an organized team.
