15 Apr, 2008  |  Written by Q  |  For Players

basketball tryoutsMany basketball players come to the website searching for basketball tryouts in a particular state or country. In most cases there aren’t many professional basketball tryouts for overseas teams.  There are several exposure camps that cater to several agents and a few teams who are local. However, most players are contracted and during the first two weeks, both the basketball player and the club can decide whether they would like to continue or not.

It is a type of tryout and players are compensated and if both sides agree, payment will go out as planned in the contract. So most players expecting a tryout like a high school tryout, it is not the case at all. Your basketball agent will have to find a club and then get you a “tryout”. That will be your chance to shine and prove yourself.

In the states, there are a number exposure camps, tryouts and pro-ams that will help you move forward.

Now that the end of the college basketball season will be officially over next week after this weekends NCAA Final Four, there will be many basketball exposure camps on the way. No matter where you live and you’re invited to any pro basketball camp or similar you should take great interest because it could be the start of your professional career. If you are not local by any chance and need to take cheap flights to your destination, it would be recommended to check out a website that I recently discovered, Flights.com.

Once you get to the website you’ll notice that its quite clear to get around and find your flights. On the right side you’ll notice the hot deals of the day and they are updated daily. Unlike other travel companies online, you can find Hostels and it is good if you’re looking for cheap accommodation during your road trip for any type of basketball tryouts. Cruises, Eurorail and other activities are easily located on the website as well. I’ve always loved traveling but honestly, I have been tired of surfing through several websites and toggling between Internet Explorer and new windows. I guess my impatience something I have to work on. But finding a discount airfare is worth it and it beats traveling to your local travel agency. In the recent years it has been easier but with top competition there are hundreds of companies online.

This is a powerful poem written by a friend of mine Santia Jackson who had many obstacles before being able to play professional basketball overseas. I am currently finishing up designing her website which has video, photos and her total profile. Please if you ever thought about giving up on your dreams, read this poem. There will be an audio added soon.

My Journey

Life is so complicated
And at times I hate it
In pursuit of my dreams
I idolized material things
That now seem overrated.
As a kid I wanted the big house and the fancy car
I even dreamed about being a superstar
In the public eye like, Beyonce, Oprah, and Maya Angelou
The people would love me
because they loved the way I flow.
I prayed from time to time
I didn’t want a new start
I just wanted God to give me what’s in my heart
Can’t he read my mind?
It’s like God never listened to me.
I have been struggling since before,
mom and dad I was one of four
we escaped from poverty
and made it to the middle class
but life was still hard for me
that’s why I hate to talk about my past.

My Georgetown Hoyas are back in it again. March Madness has begun and the 2008 NCAA Championship brackets are finalized and ready to start action. Last year, Georgetown made it to the Final Four and lost against Ohio. I think there odds are even more positive this year. They only lost one player last year, Greene to the NBA draft. All of their seniors are back and ready to fill their engines back up.

Right now many websites have March Madness challenges and NCAA basketball predictions for the 2008 Finals. If you’re looking to make bets with your friends or fantasy picks its great to look at the current March Madness Bracket and the last couple of years bracket to compare. Like I said about my Hoyas, they have a line up seniors and it is a good chance they will go very deep into the NCAA championships this year. At Docsports a website that offers NCAA March Madness spread and odds information for this years tournament, is great for information and betting if thats what you’re into.

docsports.gifI love March Madness because it is always full of surprises. Basically everyone throws out the regular season because this is a whole different ball game. I’m looking forward to the March Madness Schedule and the scores.
