You are in luck. NF Mechanics are very similar to Men's Mechanics. But I would still suggest that you buy a CCA Manual before you attend the camp. The basic ideas are the same, but the Lead has a dual area with the Center (like it used to be). The rotation philosophies are also similar with the ball settling in on the other side (there are some nuances to that based on where you live and who you work for). The reporting area is very similar. The Team Control signal is different than NF (same as the PC Foul, but then again some supervisors might not care if you use the HS mechanic). The college wants you to go opposite table on all fouls and no long switches. Do not make that complicated; you just go away from the table when you stay in the FC. Those are the major things I can think of. But at any college camp you will likely hear personal preferences as it relates to what is done in very specific situations (rotation philosophy, foul reporting, double whistles, and handling Ts). You might get all kinds of ideas and you might have to adapt. But the more you know of the "by the book" mechanics the better so you know when and how to adjust.

Again this is just an overview; my words are not the law.

Peace
