Description

Rising Blue Star Camps are Blue Star's Grassroots GIRLS Camps to help identify the top young female players in the country. These camps are in their 8th year of existance, and bringing the top 7th/8th/incoming 9th graders together in various regions to compete. Blue Star evaluator(s) will be on hand to assess players, and all participants will be included in the Rising Blue Star Report that goes to college coaches. A college recruiting lecture will also be given regarding the upcoming process for parents/players to attend. Each participant will receive a Nike Rising Blue Star T shirt.


The Blue Star Invitational Camps were started in 1981 with the singular purpose of giving girls basketball players an opportunity to compete against the nation's best players, in first class settings, in front of college coaches during the NCAA observation periods.  In Late 90’s, to reflect the changes to the NCAA Observation Calendar, we have revised our event schedule to include the Blue Star College Showcases to recognize the importance of spring/summer/fall exposure and competition in front of college coaches.  Blue Star has the largest database of college women’s basketball coaches in the country for all levels D1/D2/D3/NAIA/JC allowing us to be the ‘bridge’ between prospects/teams and college recruiters.


While most other camps cater to the men's game, Blue Star's approach has been to the women's game from the start.  In over 25 years of operation, Blue Star is considered the premier experience in girl's high school basketball.


Over 70% of the top female high school players during the past decade have attended Blue Star.  This is the All-Americans event.  During the past 25 years of Blue Star over 1,514 campers were named to the prestigious Street & Smith Magazine pre-season All-America high school girls basketball team.  Our past event all-star listings are a Who's Who of College Basketball.  Blue Star staff alone has four of the 23-committee members for the McDonald’s All-American Team.


Most of the players recommended for the Blue Star Invitational Camps were candidates for the prestigious Sporting News (formerly Street & Smith) pre-season All-America team, McDonald’s All-American Team, Blue Star Report All-America / National Rankings, USA Today All-America, Parade Magazine All-America, the Gatorade Circle of Champions Award and Scholastic Coach Magazine All-America.
