More Top Summer Camps to Attend This Summer

Continuing on with our list of top camps to attend this summer, here are several others. If you're not going to be playing at a Power 5 school at the Division I level - as is the case with 99% of players - these camps give you the best and most realistic opportunity to get recruited. Not only do these camps give you a chance to perform and compete in front of college coaches, but it also gives college coaches a chance to see how coachable you are and how you handle situations. These camps are where a lot of college coaches find their future players. Division I Omaha When you look across the country at mid-major programs with the potential to burst onto the national scene, Omaha is at the top of that list. With an incredible facility like Baxter Arena and the fact that it has only been postseason eligible for a couple years at the Division I level, Omaha is as up-and-coming of a Division I program as there is in the nation. This is a program which took a set last year from both Kansas State and Northern Iowa and had eventual national champion Nebraska on the ropes in the first set in front of a huge crowd at Baxter Arena. In the past three seasons, it has wins over Missouri Valley programs Bradley and Evansville and came thissssssssss close to reaching the NCAA Tournament in 2015 when it lost in a five-set thriller to Denver for the Summit League title.
