Overview
The Prep Hoops Next Middle School Camp is an EARLY opportunity for middle school athletes to get EXPOSURE by performing in front of Prep Hoops Next scouts and other media outlets BEFORE they enter high school.
With Prep Hoops Next scouts in attendance dedicated to highlighting top performers, players will receive unparalleled coverage before, during, and after the event on PrepHoops.com/Next and social media. In addition to our national scouts, other recruiting media will be invited, including photo and video.
Run of Show:
After check-in, athletes will have a professional headshot taken for identification. Athletes will then be split up to compete against their grade level. The competition portion of the showcase is broken into two sections: 3-on-3 competition and 5-on-5 competition. Teams will be assigned based on height, to give teams an even distribution of size.
