Son was invited to ShowBall's NorthEast/Southeast Showcase Camp in St. Petersburg, Fl Dec 19-20. From their invite they list 16 D-1 colleges that will be in attendance. I thought that this was a "quiet Period" and no coaches could be out recruiting at showcases(other than on their own campus). If someone could clarify this to me....I'd really appreciate it.

You are correct that it will be a quiet period for D-I coaches. If D-I colleges will be in attendance, then it should be structured as an instructional camp, at which some showcase-type activities and games will take place, but there should definitely be some instruction involved in order for D-I coaches to be in attendance.

My son's have attended 3 showball events in the past and there is indeed an instructional element to their events. If I remember correctly, the instruction took place on the 1st and 2nd days with games on the 2nd and 3rd days. At 1 of the events, they played 2 games on the 2nd days. I highly recommend trying out one of their events. Well run, organized and they deliver on eveything they promise.

Quiet Period
The college coach may not have any in-person contact with you or your parents off the college's campus. The coach may not watch you play or visit your high school during this period. You and your parents may visit a college campus during this time. A coach may write or telephone you or your parents during this time.
