I apreciated the organization of the day. Your communication and the event was great for the participants! You always know any event will be great when the talent is awesome and challenges you to be your very best. He enjoyed playing with some of the best players in North Carolina!

We enjoyed attending the camp to watch this group of outstanding and talented players. Our son was nervous about it prior to getting there but was made to feel comfortable and welcomed by all the staff and other players. We hope to be able to attend more events like this in the future. I will take liberties to thank you all so much for Grady and ourselves.

Doug Price

FAB 40 is an honorable and rewarding event. We are thankful that our son was chosen to be apart of a positive program showcasing NC’s top middle school students. Proud to be apart of the FAB 40 alumni family!

FAB 40 was my sons favorite showcase he’s participated in. The level of competition and coaching was extremely high. He built relationships with coaches and other players that continued past the event. It’s a great event to help kids know where they stand compared to some of the best players in the state. I would highly recommend FAB 40 to any high level middle school player.
