Here is a great event I am hosting in August:

Thoughts?

Why? What does a 13U and 14U player have to "showcase"? To whom are they "showcasing"?

The idea is to expose them to the "showcase" type format. It is really going to be an All-Star game with a combine run through prior.

It will be much easier for a lot of those kids come their high school years if they know the drill early (run the 60, throw from the outfield, take your ground balls, etc.)

I am by no means suggesting that these kids should be "showcased" to colleges/pro scouts this early.

Maybe my choice of wording is wrong, I want to bring back the All-Star game, but make it a little more in-depth. These kids won't know what to work on unless they are told where they are and where they need to be. Easier for goal setting.

Thank you for the clarification.

My pleasure . . . I am really looking forward to it. It has been quite some time since I have watched a youth game with a "buzz" in the air, hopefully this brings it back!

It's all in who plays in it. There were several games we played last year that had a "buzz".
