Hi, Mank10. Just a thought... You might check aausports.org to see what is going on in your area. Seems like Florida AAU had some "showcase" type events for younger guys, so maybe they do in your area, too. It's not in the same universe as the PG showcases for upper level high schoolers. I think these are mostly for travel coaches looking for players. But still. I think playing competitive travel ball really gave my son an edge. JV starter in 7th grade, varsity in 8th. Good luck!

My son was asked to play in some 16U showcase events around the country this fall (freshman year). I don't believe the cost is worth it. I figure playing up to 16U and 17U in our area this fall is enough for his age. I'm more interested in how he compares to players around the country when he's sixteen and seventeen rather than fourteen. He hasn't played a day of high school ball yet.
