NCAA Certified Event

What are NCAA Certified Events for basketball?

Because basketball is one of the most unique sports governed by the NCAA, they have setup different rules as to how they handle basketball certified events. This is a time where the top basketball players around travel the country to compete against the best competition. Every major player that has made it to the WNBA in recent years first made a name for themselves on the AAU circuit.

But in order to standout on the circuit in front of college coaches, you must first figure out if the event is an NCAA certified event. What this means is has the NCAA certified the event so that college coaches can be in attendance? If the events meet certain dates and apply with the NCAA ahead of time, there is a good chance that Division I college coaches will find a way to the event. The Lady Prodigy Basketball National Camp will be a NCAA certified event (NCAA Certification Pending).

The dateline for certified NCAA events is between July 6th and July 30th. This month is basically where college coaches spend all of their time on the road and do not see much of their family in July. Last summer on July 26th, this is when Wake Forest head coach Skip Prosser died of a heart attack after being so busy on the road. This just shows how tough it is as a college coach that it can take your life when you least expect it.

Because the coaches are not supposed to be talking to parents or players, the camp sets it up that there are different areas for the coaches and different areas for everyone else.  NCAA College coaches can ONLY attend NCAA certified events in the summer to evaluate athletes.
