“I’m glad to have a part in providing the same opportunity to all those players that are in the same place today as I was a few years ago. Reebok Breakout was the first major step on my path and I’m humbled to be able to give that back to the one’s that deserve it and truly want to earn their way. I hope it brings them as much success as it brought me”…John Wall
The Reebok Bre
akout Challenge is back for 2012 to once again give deserving players an opportunity to let their game make their name.
The Reebok Breakout Challenge recreates the path that John Wall took to stardom. John attended the Breakout in 2007, as an unknown and unranked player with no rep. He Broke Out on the court and his game made his name. By the end of that summer, John was the number one ranked player in his class and went on to be the number one pick in the 2010 NBA Draft.
The Reebok Breakout Challenge will take place on July 10-13, 2012 at Philadelphia University in Philadelphia, PA. It will consist of games and training sessions, and will be open to NCAA College Coaches for evaluation.
There are only two ways to be invited to the Reebok Breakout Challenge.
- Be unanimously selected by the our committee of National Scouts
- Earn an invitation by being a top performer at the Reebok Headliner Try Outs or the Reebok Showdown Series
The Reebok Headliner Try Outs will take place in seven locations throughout the country. They are open registration for any high school basketball player and free of charge. At the end of this one day try out, the top performers will earn an invitation to attend the Reebok Breakout Challenge. (click here for more information on the Headliner Try Outs)
The Reebok Showdown Series is a brand new concept for 2012. The Reebok Showdown Series consists of 6 team tournaments around the country. Each location will host 32 teams at both the 17U and 16U age groups. The top individual players at each tournament will earn invitations to the Reebok Breakout Challenge. Additionally, the top finishing teams in each region will be invited to participate in the exclusive championships in Philadelphia on July 13-15 during the NCAA live evaluation period.
We look forward to another successful year of helping new players Break Out on the national recruiting stage. The Reebok Breakout Challenge…Where Your Game Makes Your Name!
