Basketball in Columbia
The Top25Scouts Camp is coming to Columbia. Sign up now.
Our scouts work youth basketball markets across the country, and Columbia keeps coming up. With about 100,000 school-age kids in the metro, the players are clearly here — what Columbia has not had is a camp built around evaluation first.
That is what the Top25Scouts Columbia camp will be: skill work, live games, and a written evaluation from a scout whose reputation depends on finding players other events miss.
No Columbia dates are announced yet — this page is where interest is collected. Applying takes about two minutes and costs nothing. Once there is enough confirmed local demand, we lock a date and venue in the Columbia metro and every family on the list hears first.
No Columbia camp date has been announced yet. Apply now — it costs nothing — and be first to hear when it does. Families who sign up first hear first and get first access to early-bird pricing.

Age groups and camp format
Top25Scouts city camps are open to boys and girls in grades 3 through 12. Players are grouped by grade band and by skill, not just by age, so a younger guard is not lost in a session built for high school wings.
A typical camp day runs skill stations, position-specific work and live games, with scouts watching every session. One-day clinics, two-day city camps and seasonal camps — holiday, winter, spring break and summer — all run under the same format.
Exact divisions for each camp are confirmed when the date and venue are announced.
Your Hoop Verified profile
Every camp applicant builds a Hoop Verified player profile — measurements, attendance history and evaluations recorded by staff, kept with the athlete's family account.

Columbia camp questions
Who can attend a Top25Scouts Columbia basketball camp?
Boys and girls in grades 3 through 12 who live in or near the Columbia metro. Players are grouped by grade band and skill level, so you do not need to already play club basketball to apply.
When is the next Columbia camp?
Dates and venues are announced once there is enough confirmed local demand for a camp. Apply now and you will be emailed as soon as the next Columbia camp date and venue are confirmed. No payment is required to apply.
Where in Columbia will camps be held?
Inside the Columbia metro. Venues are confirmed camp by camp and chosen for court space, parking and family seating.
Does attending get my child ranked?
No. Applications, attendance and package purchases do not guarantee a ranking, nomination or invitation. A city camp is where a local scout sees your player and a verified profile gets built.
What comes after a Columbia city camp?
Every player who attends builds a Hoop Verified profile — verified name, grade, measurements and film. Players who stand out may be recommended for a Road to Top25 All-American Camp, a Top25Scouts Pro Exposure Series event or the National Combine. Recommendation is a scouting decision, never a purchase.
