Gregory Harcos has an extensive resume with Jesuit High School. Over the past 20 years, Harcos has served in many capacities including: Head of the Athletic Department from 2015-present, Varsity Basketball Head Coach from 2002-2015, JV Basketball Head Coach from 1997-2001, Varsity Assistant from 1996-1997, and Freshman Head Coach from 1995-1996. Harcos also coached JV Football from 1997-2000 and was a member of the varsity football staff in 2001. His coaching career started at St. Ignatius Grammar School in 1994-1995.

Greg attended the University of California-Berkeley where he graduated in 1993 with a Bachelor of Arts Degree. He later earned his Masters in Education Degree from Chapman University.

He has led the Marauder basketball program to much success. Greg posts an overall record of 247 wins to 122 losses. The team earned Delta River League Championships in 2003, 2006, and 2007. He also led his program to Sac-Joaquin Section titles in 2006, 2007, 2011, and 2012. The team finished as section runner-up in 2003, 2011, and 2012.

In 2006, Harcos was honored with the Sacramento Bee Coach of the Year award. He led the Marauders to national and state rankings.
- 2005 – # 22 in the State
- 2007 – # 6 in the State and # 39 Nationally
- 2010 – # 28 in the State
- 2011 – # 10 in the State and # 60 Nationally
Greg’s coaching philosophy is that basketball is not only about learning the game but also using the circumstances that parallel the game to teach life lessons and prepare our athletes for what lies ahead. He strives to develop each individual to the best of his ability in an attempt to maximize his players’ ability. Understand that skill can only take you so far-thus strength, toughness, hard work, and preparation, should be easily identified in the character of a Jesuit team.

Meals

All campers must eat breakfast at home. Please bring a packed lunch or lunch money. Lunch will be provided Monday-Thursday at an additional daily cost of $9. You can purchase a meal plan at check-in. Lunch will include a main item, fruit, cookie, chips, and a drink.

Main items will vary daily:
Monday- Pizza
Tuesday- Pasta
Wednesday- Sandwiches
Thursday- Burritos

Separate from the meal plan, there will be a snack bar that campers may purchase snack and drink items with cash or deposit a line of credit for the week at registration. Lunch is not inclusive to the snack bar.

Camper Evaluation

Upon arrival, all participants are evaluated by the staff so that their own instructional needs can be addressed throughout the week. In addition, campers will be evaluated and then split up into smaller groups according to age and ability. Parents are invited to attend the closing ceremony! Departure immediately following.

Transportation

Transportation is not provided by the camp to or from any airports. If you are flying to or from camp, we recommend using an airport shuttle service. Please schedule flights as close as you can to the check-in times on the first day and check-out times on the last day.

Registration Packet

A detailed camper registration packet containing check in location, health/release forms, emergency contact numbers, and a checklist of things to bring will be emailed to all registered campers in the Spring. The US Sports Camps health and release forms do not require a doctor's signature and they will be collected on the first day of camp.

Scholarships

We cannot offer scholarships due to NCAA regulations. Our affiliation with NCAA coaches and schools puts us in a position where any scholarship money can be seen as an inducement to a future collegiate athlete. This puts our coaches and our host universities in jeopardy of damaging their status with the NCAA and incurring penalties at the hands of their organizing body.

*Please note, this information is subject to change.

We will definitely be back next year!

July 28, 2017: Zeke had an amazing week and didn't want it to end. My highlight moment was hearing Zeke say that he wants to go to Jesuit and he wants to get good grades in school. This sounds amazing coming from a kid who struggles in the classroom. I wish I could send him for week 2. We will definitely be back next year!
