[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The advice we got is to play for your high school, skip the travel teams, train at the facility of your choice and go to Headfirst Honor Roll camps. [/quote]

[b]This is the ideal strategy for a pitcher - especially D3 HA.[/b]

Showball has exclusive deals with a bunch of coaches, so you'll have to go there too if the school of choice doesn't attend HF.

Position players, hope you have a good day at the plate and can manage the weird 1-1 count. [/quote]

It's really only going to work for D3.  Even Ivy D1 barely is recruiting any kids from Headfirst and Showball these days, unless they saw you play somewhere already and want to take a closer look.  The flip side is you attend the summer after sophomore year and they start looking at you closer...this I recommend...but no D1 is much recruiting the Summer after junior year anymore since they have nearly entirely filled that class around June.  They didn't use to recruit as much like the top D1s...but now they do.  Harvard, Penn, Princeton, Columbia and Yale were very aggressive at the GA tournaments...Brown relies mainly on their own camps (but again, you want to attend as a rising junior or Fall junior year and be at a level of interest to them).

The more competitive academic D3 programs (Emory, Chicago, JHU, etc.) are also going to be quirky in their own way.  As an example...and no surprise...Emory spends quite a bit of time scouting the East Cobb and Lakepoint GA tournaments because it's super efficient for them.  That said, they still are usually only coming out to view kids already on their radar that at least on paper are strong enough students.

The Prospect Select Boston tournament is always basically the same time as the Showball camp at Tufts (tournament is weekend before and then Showball has two camps during the week).  Again, that's a popular paring of tournament and Showball for evaluating kids.
