ECD All-American Rising Stars Showcase powered by Millon Events


Social media and FOMO have really driven the popularity of this event and showcases like Apex, PLL junior games. Seeing the Red Hots using the same model to promote their camp. All would generally be a cash grab. Little to No instruction, but chances to stand out or look bad amongst your peers and parents. Red Hots camp is invite only will have good competition.

Method 18 appears to be a camp where you can learn something, with a strong roster of kids. Crabs have their Prospect ID camp this summer, heard good things. Wouldn't hurt to check out the camps being offered at prospective high schools and colleges kids are interested in. College and HS camps are used to pad the salaries of their coaches, so be pre warned.
My son did an Apex event recently. He walked away having learned something new, and had a great experience. I don't mind spending the money at this age when those two things happen. Money grab for some. Great learning experience for others. Perspective.
