Arizona Preps is proud to announce the launch of the first-ever Arizona Preps Middle School Fall Showcase, a brand-new event designed to identify and evaluate the top young basketball prospects throughout the state of Arizona. The inaugural showcase is expected to take place this September (Fall 2026), with the official date and location to be announced in the coming weeks. The event will feature boys from the 7th and 8th grade classes - highlighting the talented prospects from Arizona’s 2031 and 2032 graduating classes.
After the announcement was released last week across Arizona Preps’ social media platforms, the response from the Arizona basketball community has been overwhelming. The tremendous interest surrounding the event further confirms the growing talent level and excitement surrounding the next generation of basketball players in the state. For many years, Arizona Preps has experienced tremendous success with its annual Arizona Preps Fall Showcase, which focuses on high school teams and has become one of the premier preseason events in the state. The creation of the Middle School Fall Showcase is the next step in Arizona Preps’ continued commitment to identifying, evaluating, and promoting the state’s top basketball talent at every level.
Unlike the high school team showcase format, the Arizona Preps Middle School Fall Showcase will be an individual camp setting, allowing Arizona Preps’ staff to evaluate each prospect’s skill level, athletic ability, basketball IQ, competitiveness and long-term potential.
The entire Arizona Preps staff will be in attendance throughout the event - providing complete coverage and evaluations of the participating athletes. Players will have the opportunity to be identified early by one of the state’s most respected basketball media outlets, as Arizona Preps continues its mission of documenting and showcasing the growth of Arizona basketball. This exciting new event represents the beginning of what Arizona Preps expects to become an annual tradition and another important platform for young players to begin making a name for themselves.
Stay tuned to Arizona Preps and our social media channels for additional announcements regarding registration information, the official date and the location of this exciting first-year event.
