It's also just $69.99 (softcover) or $89.99 (hardcover) for each additional book -- perhaps grandparents or relatives would also like one. Last year’s book nearly sold out, so get yours early!

Your high school uniform and a basketball from home.
In order to accommodate a large group of top players (and to avoid unnecessary wait times), we have spread both photo shoots out over a several-hour period. Please feel free to come at any point during the shoot, but be advised that the first hour is usually the busiest.
At the photo shoot, we’ll take several photos of you in your high school uniform as well as any team/group shots requested. You’ll be recognized among the top basketball players in the state! Our book is viewed by colleges across the nation.
