this is a partial list of player showcase opportunities, including links to more info… this page will be updated as we add more showcase and college camp opportunities
________________________________________________
Who should attend a Player Showcase?
Any female volleyball player in high school who possibly wants to play in college.
Why?
- Assess where you stand compared to other players your age and/or position
- After contacting college coaches via email and phone, this is an opportunity for coaches so see you in action, in person.
- You will not necessarily “get discovered” at a showcase… most coaches are primarily there to watch players that are already “on their list.” Make sure you have already pre-contacted numerous coaches PRIOR to any showcase, so you know they will watch you!
- often conveniently scheduled the night before a tournament… you’re already there
BEWARE: All showcases are different! Ask your coach and/or club director what they know about a specific showcase that you’re interested in attending… some are a bit overpriced, some attract more college coaches than others… all showcases serve a purpose… make sure it’s maximum exposure and benefit for YOU 🙂
Find a showcase that has CONFIRMED College coaches from schools that you are truly interested in attending! It’s a great way to get to know those coaches on the court (and see if you want to play for that coach for 4 years)

Las Vegas Showcase – Friday evening before the Las Vegas Classic (February)
Showcase your skills to college coaches, raise your profile, get seen by hundreds of college coaches! Parents get a free recruiting seminar at same time. Low price, conveniently hosted the night before the Las Vegas Showcase. For unsigned Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors. Sign up ahead of time, and make sure you have all your player data handy in order to sign up.
Whichever showcase you attend on Friday afternoon/evening, be sure to arrive 30min early (plan for Friday traffic if you’re driving from San Diego!)… and register ASAP since timeslots fill up!

City Beach Academic Camp – in Northern California in early June – get coached by multiple college coaches from high academic schools! A fantastic way to get to know their coaching styles and the coaches can get to know you. too! Better than video and better than a huge showcase right before a major tournament… this only attracts student-athletes for certain types of schools. early June weekend
