For the past couple of weeks I’ve been researching the Flip Video Camera for myself and to recommend if it was worthy enough. I’ve come to the opinion that the Flip video is a great and easy no-flaw way to get your basketball videos online. In the past, I mentioned several ways to create video and the type of software that you would need. After studying the most easiest way for a beginner to get their basketball highlight film onto services such as Youtube, Revver, Veoh, BlipTv .. etc, I believe Flip Video is the best option.

There are two series of Flip Video Cams: Flip Video and Flip Video Ultra. The prices do not exceed $160 and its powered with double AA batteries. The Flip contains a USB adapter integrated so that you can plug-in-play directly into your laptop, pc computer or MAC. Later, it can be upload to those video services fairly quick.

What I love about it is. Of course, when you’re playing you’ll most likely need to ask a friend or family member to record the game. When you have easy equipment such as the Flip VideoCamera its easy to pass along. Just click one button and they’re off recording the game. Continue Reading ->

If you have read here before, you know that it is important to have a basketball profile or resume. Getting your basketball profile together can be easy if you played at your university or club for a long period of time. Also if the organization kept records of each season that you played.

Once you accumulated all of your basketball statistics from your university or club organize it in chronological order by last season played at the beginning. Next, put in words your strengths and weaknesses.

You should then get some type of photograph together, preferrably an action photo. When all of this is complete make sure you have a game tape ready to send off, so when teams and agents contact you. You will be prepared and everything in order.

If you dont have all of those things make sure a solid highlight tape is able. Teams need to see in order to believe what is on paper or online!
