Join us this summer at Vanguard University, where NBC Camps has developed some of the most successful basketball players from around the region. College Basketball Prep Camp (CIC) prepares serious high school athletes for college basketball and college life. Offering a 5 day intensive camp each summer, this camp location captures players from all over the US who want to improve their game on both sides of the court. CIC's experienced coaches are determined to help every player gain an edge on their opponent and grow as a leader. We strive to help each athlete gain confidence both on and off the court.

The CIC basketball training camp is designed to be the country’s most comprehensive and advanced basketball training program.

CIC instruction centers on skill development, speed and strength improvement, and specialized position training. Camp provides an in-depth focus on shooting & scoring, attacking the basket, ball handling, learning how to maximize your athletic potential, leadership training, building confidence and insight on how to compete at the next level.

    Rhett Soliday

    Camp Director

    Soliday's first experience with the Golden State Athletic Conference came as a player when he transferred to Concordia from Big Bend Community College. He joined the coaching ranks immediately after a successful two-year playing career for the Eagles, where he earned NAIA Scholar-Athlete and GSAC Player of the Week, among other awards. Becoming one of the youngest head assistants in the country at the time (22 years old), Soliday helped Head Coach Ken Ammann and the staff turn the Concordia men's basketball program into a national champion. He was the lead recruiter for the Eagles as well as carrying offensive and defensive duties on the court, scouting and game strategy, academic monitoring and mentoring, and strength and conditioning duties off the court. In his four-year term at CUI, the Eagles were the 2003 NAIA Champions, 2004 NAIA Runner-ups, 2005 GSAC Tournament Champions and 2005 NAIA Tournament participants.

    Soliday moved on to the NCAA Division I level to join the staff of Head Coach Pat Douglass at UC Irvine, where he served as an assistant coach for the next four years. His recruiting efforts paid off once again as the Anteaters made it to the Big West Conference Tournament Championship game in 2008, for only the second time in school history. UCI was a BWC Tournament semifinalist in 2007 and a BWC Tournament participant in 2010, while finishing fourth in the BWC in 2009. In addition to recruiting, Soliday was active in every area of practice and instruction, as well as scouting opponents and game day preparation, and monitoring and mentoring players off the court.
