FOURTH ANNUAL ORANGE BOWL FLORIDA HIGH SCHOOL BASKETBALL SHOWCASE PRESENTED BY MEMORIAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM TO TAKE PLACE MARCH 15
Free opportunity for local high school student-athletes; Open to junior and senior boys and girls
MIAMI LAKES, Fla. (March 3, 2025) – Orange Bowl is hosting its fourth annual Orange Bowl Florida High School Basketball Showcase presented by Memorial Healthcare System on Saturday, March 15 at David Posnack JCC in Davie, Fla.
Similar to Orange Bowl’s football showcase, this free event will provide hundreds of local high school junior and senior basketball student-athletes an opportunity to meet college basketball coaches from across the country for a chance to receive aid or scholarships as they aspire to continue their academic and athletic careers at the collegiate level. The event is open to both boys and girls.
Each participant will compete in a series of tests, drills and scrimmages that best display each player’s various talents at their respective positions, followed by a meet and greet opportunity with coaches from approximately 30 NCAA Division II, III, NAIA and JUCO programs.
Since 2017, Orange Bowl’s high school showcases have generated more than $9 million in scholarships and financial aid for more than 400 high school student-athletes. The Basketball Showcase alone has impacted more than 1,500 student-athletes since its inception.
“The Orange Bowl Florida High School Basketball Showcase presented by Memorial Healthcare System is a testament to our ongoing commitment to enrich our community,” said Orange Bowl Committee President & Chair Henri Crockett. “We take great pride in this event, which provides student-athletes with the crucial opportunity to access college financial aid and pursue their higher education dreams.”
To be eligible to participate in the basketball showcase, student-athletes must be a high school senior or junior who has not accepted a scholarship offer from a Division I program. In addition, it is recommended that participants have a 2.5 GPA or higher in 16 Core Courses AND have an SAT score of at least 920 (math and verbal only), OR have a composite ACT Score of 18 or higher or a sum score of 68 or higher.
“Initiatives like the Orange Bowl Florida High School Basketball Showcase are about more than just the game – they’re an investment in the health, well-being, and future of our youth,” said Tony Milian, Senior Director of Pediatric Orthopedics, Sports Medicine, Rehab & Neurosciences at Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. “Memorial and Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital are proud to support events that promote physical fitness, collaboration, and cultivate a strong sense of community, all of which contribute to building a healthier future.”
