games and lectures and in the dorms during our rest and recovery periods, bed checks and sleep. Camp phones are available to all campers, if necessary, in the gym and in the dorms. In addition, pay phones are available in the gym and dorm for campers’ social use.
Room and Key Deposit
Each camper will be required to leave a $60 room damage and key deposit upon check in at the dorm. The full $60 amount will be returned to each camper at check out, providing the dorm room is in the same condition and the room key has been returned. The vast majority of campers and parents will get a full refund. However, this deposit guards against any unnecessary dorm damage and lost keys. The National Camp, in conjunction with the university, is cooperating to insure the proper conditions for subsequent camps. This deposit can be made with cash or check (payable to Grigsby Sports Group). Please Note:Any key not returned prior to a camper leaving campuswill be considered a lost key. Therefore, no key deposit refunds can be issued to campers not immediately returning keys.
Staff Supervision
We have a ratio of 10 campers to one staff member during all phases of camp.
Ours is a system of constant roll calling, so we always know each camper’s
schedule. University of Texas-Arlington provide 24-hour security service.
Dorm Mother
The Lady Prodigy Basketball National Camp employs a Dorm Mom to supervise our dormitories when your daughter is not in the gym. Our Dorm Mom is on duty, and accessible by phone (refer to TELEPHONE section for phone number), from 2:30 PM – Midnight each day our camp is in session. Please note: our campers are supervised 100% of the time by our staff , our dorm Mom, our coaches and/or our support staff.
Athletic Trainer
We have professional Athletic Trainers on staff during the entire weed. All
medical needs, such as injury treatment, knee and ankle wrapping, will be
addressed daily. Those campers on medication should register their condition and medication with the trainers on the first day of camp. Should, however, a camper wish to self-administer her medication, she may do so providing this is the perogative of the camper’s parents. In either case, it is imperative our trainers are aware of all medical conditions and medications.

No refunds will be issued once camper had paid the deposit. Should a camper
leave camp due to injury or other medical issues, a prorated credit may be given for the following year.All cancellations must be made in writing either by mail or by fax. Please call our office with any questions.
