First of all, the title is “How Girls Basketball Players get listed on ESPN Hoopgurlz Best of Summer”. I could stop there.. In today’s society and level of girls basketball, you can not only play during the regular school basketball season. You have to continue to play basketball during the late spring and into the summer.

Play on a National Level

If you visit the ESPN Hoopgurlz site, you will notice Tips Sheets of events they attended during the summer. These events were all over the place. You will see cities like Memphis, TN; Las Vegas, NV; Los Angeles, CA; Oregon City, OR; and North Augusta, S.C.

It just does not work that way. You have to get out and play against top talent at top national events.
