I was told about this camp by our old assistant coach who I had a good relationship with. I knew him since I was about 9, and before he even coached at my school. He now works at the IMG Academies.
---------------------------------------------------
I have good grades, I had a 4.05 weighted HPA in the first quarter. This is an "HONOR ROLL ACADEMIC SHOWCASE CAMP"
---------------------------------------------------
Anyone know more about it? I would go the one in Jupiter, FL.

The Headfirst Honor Roll showcase is the real deal, probably the best event for those who want baseball with their college moreso than the other way 'round. It is heavily attended by the Ivies and comparable schools.

I would like to add my strong endorsement to Midlo Dad's. If you have the type of grades and academic record that qualify you for a strong academic school, you owe it to yourself to attend one of Headfirst's Showcases. My son attended in the summer of 07'at the Virginia Baseball Complex just north of Richmond. Not only was every school (and coach) advertised present, but many that were not on the list attended, as well. For example, as Midlo Dad noted, every single Ivy League school had coaches present, as well as the service academies. ACC powerhouses like Georgia Tech, Virginia, and Duke also were there. The number of top academic DIIIs from around the country was astonishing! I counted over seventy schools, as well as pro scouts. The organization of the showcase was phenomenal. Each school's coaches had a chance to address the players and their parents and talk about their schools and teams in between games. In terms of the games, the teams were small and positionally well-divided. Consequently, my son played in four full games and only sat out one inning! Over the two full days, he got a ton of at bats and chances in the field, and we could not have been happier with the results. He talked to a number of coaches from around the country during the showcase, and received many calls and letters from interested coaches immediately thereafter. The showcase is not inexpensive, but we believe it was worth every penny and then some. If you have a 4.05 GPA, as you mention, you certainly will want to attend one of Headfirst's Academic Showcases. Best of luck!

Great showcase and the guys Brendan Sullivan and Justin Cronk who run it are first class and great guys. My son played for Coach Cronk the past two summers and attended the Headfirst showcase twice. Nothing but great things to say. If you have good grades and want to play ball at the next level, you need to go to this showcase.
