Saturday, March 14, 2015
Geneva College (Beaver Falls, PA)

The inaugural NCSAA Basketball Junior-Senior Showcase will be held at Geneva College (Beaver Falls, PA) on Saturday, March 14, 2015.

The Showcase will include as many as two boys' showcase games and two girls' showcase games, both featuring juniors and seniors from across the region.  We anticipate that the Showcase will be well-attended and highly recruited by college coaches and scouts -- so the exposure for your players will be high.  Whether your players are interested in playing in college (and looking for an opportunity to be seen by college coaches) or would enjoy the reward of playing in a post-season showcase with players from all across the region and country, this is a great opportunity for them.

To register your players to compete in the Showcase...COMPLETE THIS FORM.  We have space for a maximum of 40 boys' basketball players and 40 girls' basketball players.

If you have any questions, contact us so that we can assist you!

Showcase Format:

• Basketball Showcase Games:  There will be as many as two girls' basketball and two boys' basketball games (Division 1 and Division 2, with the D1 game being the higher-level game), with a maximum of 10 players placed on each team -- though we hope to have smaller teams (8 players).  Coaches from Christian schools in the region will be chosen to coach the teams.  Priority will be given to providing equal playing time for all players, to the degree possible.  Each game will feature four 8-minute quarters, with an overtime (if necessary).
• The start times for the Showcase games will be decided closer to the date of the event, dependent upon how many total games need to be played.  If you have any questions (for making travel plans, etc), feel free to contact us, and we will help advise you as much as possible.

Cost of Participation:

The cost is $35 per player (for athletes from NCSAA full member schools) or $45 per player (for athletes from non-member schools).

• Each athlete will receive an NCSAA Junior-Senior Showcase game jersey (to be worn in the Showcase game), which he / she may keep as a souvenir from the event.
• Each athlete will receive a complimentary meal (pizza and drinks) following the Showcase game.
