WHAT IS THE JUNIOR PHENOM CAMP?

The adidas Junior Phenom camp was created to give younger players an opportunity to get ahead in the recruiting game. Introduced in San Diego, California in 2004, the national directors decided they needed a better way to find talent nationwide as opposed to relying on their own sources. At that point, the state camps were born.

This will be the first time that Idaho has had an exposure based regional camp of this magnitude. Not only do the kids get a chance to compete against the best players in Idaho, it is their first chance to meet the entire coaching staff of the Idaho Select Basketball Program.

HOW THE PROCESS WORKS

Players in the graduating classes of 2013, 2014 and 2015 will participate in the Junior Phenom camps in each state or region. These regional camps are the only way to qualify for the National camp, THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS. And with the high level of competition at each camp they are a must attend for competitive players.

The best players at the regional level will then be invited to the National adidas Junior Phenom camp in San Diego next August. A total of 100 players from each class will be invited to compete and these players will be evaluated by various scouting services.

I AM ONLY IN THE 4TH GRADE. WHAT ABOUT ME?

Players in the 4th grade are too young to attend the Junior Phenom Camps but there are still some options available. The directors of this Phenom Camp are also hosting The Next Level Skills Camp during Spring Break. Visit www.idahoselect.org for more information.

I AM TOO OLD. DO YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR ME?

If you are an 8th or 9th grader, you are eligible to participate in the Next Level Skills Camp, The Crossover and tryout for the Idaho Select traveling team. Click on a link for more details.

AREN'T THESE KIDS A BIT YOUNG?

The reality is that the recruiting game is going younger and younger. While we recognize that so much can change for a player in the next 3-5 years, we feel that we can begin the process in a safe and controlled environment. If a player or parent has any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us.
