There are some great resources, like NCSA, that can help you locate the best basketball camp for your needs. A high school basketball player has many stops on a journey to graduation. Starting sophomore and junior year, a player needs to decide if he would like to continue to play basketball college. This is a serious decision that will have the biggest impact on the college application process.
Here are a few questions that should be answered before signing up for a college prospect
Are You Good Enough? This does not have to be answered completely, but you should be fairly confident that you can play DIII basketball or higher. The high school season should be a good indication of the possibility of playing in college. Some high school requirements are making the varsity team, starting or being a significant contributor, and as well as being selected for the All-Star team. If you have achieved a few of these things, it is worth attending a camp.
Do You Have the Grades? Very often there are many schools that attend a college prospect camp like the All-Academic Camp held all over the country. Analyze the list of schools attending and evaluate if it is likely you would be accepted into these schools.
Do You Have the Money? Sadly, these camps are expensive, so finanacial status in a big factor.
How Bad Do You Want It? Being a college student-athlete is a huge commitment. It involves working on your game year round, sacrificing social events, and attending school over a long winter break. Playing college basketball may sound great, but talk to players who have done. Get honest feedback about all the time and energy required of being a member of a college basketball program.
