ENTER AN AGENT TEAM
May 10, 2007
The Southern California Summer Pro League (SPL) is pleased to extend to you an opportunity to participate in the SPL's 38th season through a team in our agent division. SPL will run from July 8 through July 15, 2007.
The SPL has been a premier summer showcase for professional and international talent for three and a half decades. The 2006 NBA division was spearheaded by a number of NBA teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Memphis Grizzlies, and Washington Wizards. The SPL has also been a launching pad for many great NBA careers, such as Earvin "Magic" Johnson, Reggie Miller, Jerry Stackhouse, Tim Duncan, Carmelo Anthony, Kobe Bryant, Baron Davis, J.R. Smith, Shaun Livingston, and Andrew Bynum.
Your team will have the opportunity to play at the highest level of competition. Players will test their skills against top professionals, have the chance to be discovered by well-known scouts from around the world, and work with trained professional officials. Games will be recorded using NBA statistic computers. Representatives from many NBA franchises are present during the SPL season.
Below is some additional information to give you a more comprehensive view of the league's history and the procedures for submitting an agent team. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our offices at 310.348.8747 or email savery@summerproleague.com.
