Intro To Showcases: Complete Stats and Top Statistical Performers
December 24, 2020
Tuesday, December 22 saw 40 players from around the state participate in our Introduction to Showcases event at Champions Sports in Nicholasville. Our staff took 13 and 14U players through a PBR event, explained to them what scouts look for, and had a discussion with players & parents on the do's and dont's of the recruiting process and the importance of academics.
For most players, this was their first PBR event and establishes a baseline of measurables from which they can progress.
