The Show Showtime Blackcard Five Star Exposure One Percent
The show in fall had top 75 players in the class but coach turnout was horrible - 2 coaches per team no other coaches evaluating - none of the coaches were head coaches. Showtime - godfather of showcases Black card s horrible - NXT is better FiveStar - like the show had best players in the class hands down. Everyone invited was supposed to be there - no scrubs Never heard of exposure One percent is always good - NLF and NAL heavy event. It is during NAPTOWN this year I’d be a little worried who would not show because of that.
Juniors Open and MainStage should be on this lis Best in class should be too.
Your assessment of the above showcases is very good but you didn't mention that it is extremely difficult to get invited to them unless your son is an absolute stud in which case it will not matter. For the other 95% you should consider Future Phenoms which is hands down the best "non invite only" showcase as it has hands on coaching and a sideline full of coaches when they are not directly coaching a team. Lacrosse Masters is also very good. My experience, having two kids go through the process is that tournaments with the club team are the best (assuming good tournaments) as nobody trusts a player more than they guys he has been playing. Then comes multi-day showcases as it is difficult for players to be selfish if they are going to be around other players for more than a few games. Then comes individual college prospect days as that is the best way for a specific coach to see you but make sure your club coaches tell them you will be there. Good luck to all of you.
