Take an inside look at what a typical two days at camp is like for players.
“Headfirst Showcase Camps allow coaches to get an up-close look at the players in the camp. Not just evaluating them on the field, but also evaluating the players as people. The structure of the camp allows players to interact with coaches in the dugouts, on the field, and in a meeting session during the camp. This allows coaches to make the best evaluations on players and allows players to show not only their talent on the field, but also who they are as people. College coaches want great players on their teams. But, ultimately, they want great people and Headfirst allows players to showcase this.”

“As a player going through the recruiting process, Headfirst was the best camp that I attended. I loved the camp so much that I wanted to become a Red Shirt myself to give back to not only the sport but Headfirst as well. You won’t find another camp like it!”
– Sarah B., Honor Roll Alumni
“Headfirst provided a developmental environment to facilitate connections with coaches and confidence in approaching unfamiliar conversations. I was very impressed with the camp format, but even more so with the developmental focus, not only softball skills, but also life skills.”
