If you have not noticed, the caliber of play found in today's basketball player is much stronger than it was a decade ago. If you go back even farther, it becomes very apparent that yesterday's basketball player does not even compete with today's basketball athletes. Stronger, bigger, faster, quicker and with skills that are developed early in their youth basketball experience is now the norm. In the past, multiple sports athletes were a common occurrence, however, today with specialization in one sport as the norm and with younger athletes developing their basketball skills sets increasingly at a younger age, the sport of basketball is now producing top performing basketball players all over the country. With this in mind, showcases are now focusing on the 5th - 8th graders in the exercise of highlighting as early as possible the high school stars of tomorrow. In Arizona, the Arizona Middle School Exposure Showcase has become one of the elite events where one can find the serious minded parents and players who have chosen basketball as their main preference.
