How can I create a Group Jive Categories page/module where it shows the categories and visitors can select a category and after selecting category they see the different groups under chosen category, the only selection I can create is an events page showing different groups with events

You can't create categories on frontend anymore. They are strictly backend managed. GJ can also function entirely without categories.

O.K- here us my scenario- I am creating a directory of companies that run events for american football and I want to use group jive as the plugin- the categories are Football Camps-Football Combines-Tournaments-Trainers. Under a category like Football Combines I would create a company listing(group jive group) like Schumans National Combine- by creating the listing as a group, it alows me to post all of Schumans events under the events tab within his Listing page/group page. I want to be able to all visitors to see all categories then choose the category they want to see and after selecting they would see all the listings/group pages of companies under that category- is that not possible?

You should be able to create an All Categories Joomla menu item.
This would take you to a landing page that has all the categories in it.
From there you should be able to drill down to a category you want and see all groups in that category.

See the CB GroupJive Primer Book - it has a chapter dedicated to Joomla GJ menus.
