INTRODUCTION
Exposure is the key for any player in this day and age to receive a college basketball scholarship. With cutbacks in staff and budget by colleges nationwide, and fewer days to evaluate players, college coaches overlook more and more deserving players every year.
With this being the case, I hope one will consider attending the 2nd Annual High Potential Girls Basketball Fall Exposure Showcase on September 26, 2015, at Bullitt Central High School in easy-to-reach Shepherdsville, KY, off Interstate 65 at exit 117 and just 17 miles south of Louisville, KY.
The showcase could well be the avenue for you to obtain a scholarship. Each participate will play in a total of 3 games during the day. There will be team practices, stations, contests and a guest speaker. With the exception of lunch, there is no dead time during the showcase, as players are occupied with basketball related activities at all times.
Over 400 college coaches nationwide representing all levels of play will be invited to attend the showcase. A Camp Internet Report will be made available on our webpage along with internet coverage on our blog at http://basketball-camp.net/about-us/blog and Ron Harrison’s blog at www.kyprephoops.com which has almost 5,000,000 hits along with Facebook and Twitter.
Why pay $200 or more which most similar events charge when you can just pay $95 to attend the High Potential Girls Basketball Fall Exposure Showcase and get more bang for your buck.
There is a spot for you at the showcase whether you are looking to broaden your scholarship offers, get on the radar screens of college recruiters or just simply wanting to improve your game for the 2015-16 season.

P.S. Over the past 36 year history of the camp, there have been several McDonald’s All-Americans, states’ Mr. Basketballs, All-State players and NBA players that have had “Blue-Chip” on their resume. Did you know that Norris Cole of the Miami Heat attended “Blue-Chip” in 2006 and five NCAA Final Fours (2010-2014) had at least one former camper?
