How do I pick the right baseball camp or showcase to attend?

Great question and we would recommend that you attend as many as possible. Pick a college or showcase from our website that works for your schedule, budget and location. Once you are there, make sure you ask the coaches questions that will help you with future decisions.

Ask the coach, "What level of school should I be going after", "do I have a chance to play college baseball", "would you recommend I try out for Division I,II, or III?". The answers to these questions should assist you in the decision of which camps or showcases to attend in the future.

What do college coaches look for at camps & showcases?

Depending on your camp location, coaches are looking for players that stand out or they are looking for players who play positions that they need to fill.

Just be yourself and let your skills showcase themselves. Don't try to push to do something special, just work hard, be ready for camp, look the part and let nature take it's course. If you present yourself professionally, work hard and have a good attitude, the coaches will notice you.

How old do I have to be to attend a College baseball camp?

It always depends on the College baseball camp or showcase you are attending. Under all the locations on our site there is listed the specific age for the specific event. Most College baseball programs have prospect camps, youth camps, showcases or specific training camps and should be able to accommodate most age groups.

How do I prepare for a baseball camp or showcase?

Be in good physical and mental shape. As always you should be eating well with a proper diet for a athlete. Have your arm in shape and ready to go. Go into it with a positive attitude. Attending a college camp is a terrific opportunity to be evaluated by a college coaching staff and you want to be prepared.

The difference between a showcase & a prospect camp?

Traditionally Prospect Camps are held by a specific college coaching staff looking to find players for their program only. A showcase invites many different college coaching staff's to attend thus the player is able to be seen by a wide variety of programs.

Both are great events to attend and can be very beneficial to your future as a college athlete.
