Showcases

Age Group

Showcases are a great way to have your players seen by prospective colleges.  See below for things to do before and after showcases to maximize exposure

Showcases

Tips for Attending Showcases:

  • Participate in events where colleges are likely to seek players of a similar caliber to those on your team (this requires the coach to have some idea where their players want to play and what they are skilled to play)

  • Email/Call coaches in advance that are expected to be there with team schedule

    • Players should be encouraged to do the same

    • Even if college coaches are not likely to attend the event, it's a good practice for your players to always email coaches with their schedule as another opportunity to put the players name in front of the coach

  • Create Roster Profile Flyer and post behind the dugout on your teams side of the fence.

    • Bring more then you expect you will need (you don't want to run out) - plan on between 25-100, depending on the tournament, etc.

    • Clear Plastic Sheet Protectors or Real Estate Brochure Boxes

  • Key information to include in your Roster Profile

    • Player Name, #, Position, Graduating Year, Social Medial (Twitter), and an Email

    • Be sure to include the Coach's name and contact information

    • Add your team webpage on the GA Impact website to your flyers (or QR Code)

      • Upcoming schedule ​​

      • Identify existing commits on team 

      • Notes section 

  • At the Showcase

    • Get comfortable behind the fence.  Your role moves from coach to manager during showcases.  It's important for a representative to be standing outside the fences, ready to engage with coaches that may be watching your game.
