Baseball camps/showcases attended by strong D3 programs

Headfirst will be in Long Island, NY

Headfirst, referenced above, has an excellent reputation. In addition, some other camps/showcases discussed on other threads in the last few days are the TPX/Top96 academic showcases (www.top96.com) and camps at Yale and Princeton (the link for the Princeton camp is http://www.princetonsportscamp...r_Camps/Baseball.htm ). Many of the same schools go to both the Yale and Princeton camps. DIII schools at the Princeton camp when my son was there included Haverford, Franklin & Marshall and Dickinson. The other schools there were top academic DI schools such as Princeton, Brown, Bucknell, Yale, Georgetowna and others. The Top 96 website will give you a list of schools that have attended each of their camps in the past...it will be a larger number than the Yale and Princeton camps, so you should go through and look to see who may be there that may fit your search.

My son attended the Princeton Advanced Baseball camp and the Top 96 Academic Showcase in Hartford. If you have any questions on these, I'd be happy to talk to you...just PM me.

Also, as you are interested in strong academic DIII's, you might want to read a series of newspaper articles from a few years ago in the NY Times that examined DIII recruiting by following that process for an extended period at Haverford College , in Haverford, PA. The reporter was given open access to meetings, administrators, coaches, etc., resulting in a very interesting and informative series. Here is a link to that series: http://www.nytimes.com/ref/spo..._RECRUIT_SERIES.html

If I remember correctly, the series mentions the Headfirst baseball camp.

One of the best kept secrets IMO is the Le Moyne College week long camp/clinic in Syracuse. In addition to the entire Le Moyne coaching staff, other D1 schools such as Canisius assist.

Cortland State, Hamilton and other SUNY D3 programs have assisted as well.

It is well run, great instruction and they play at least four simulated games. It is conducted the last week of June and well worth the fee.

One thing you might want to do this:

Have your son invite the D-III schools he has interest in to see him play with his travel team in tournaments in their region

thanks everyone - great suggestions from all.

SelectFest - Diamond Nation, Flemington, NJ & Rutgers University:

It is invite only, so you need a recommendation from a scout or coach. About 550-600 apply, only around 150 are invited. Very reasonably priced and well run. Son definitely had some quality D3's contact him out of this showcase.
