Top 7 Softball Summer Camps and Showcases

ATLANTA - April 27, 2022 - PRLog -- The showcases are ranked by how much potential there is to be scouted. In my personal experience, showcases that give one on one time with coaches are the most successful. Recruits that are looking to visit specific schools' camps- DO NOT go to general skills camps. These camps are always geared toward younger, inexperienced athletes and disregard position players looking to get recruited.
