Showcase KC

Chicken N Pickle

The 2024 SHOWCASE KC tournament is an annual invitational showcase for young men and women soccer players who want to play at the college level. All who participate will demonstrate their talents and abilities to men's and women's college coaches from across the Midwest and beyond. More than 600 collegiate coaches from Divisions I, II, III, NAIA, and NJCAA are invited to scout players.

At last year's event, over 230 college coaches attended the SHOWCASE KC, with over 34 state championship-winning youth teams attending the competition. This event is already regarded as one of the finest collegiate showcase tournaments in the Midwest, and the Sporting Club Network is excited to continue to add value to this event for years to come.

The 2024 SHOWCASE KC will welcome all boys and girls competitive travel teams ages U-15 through U-19 and provide those teams with a three-game guarantee. The U13 & U14 age groups who will play a full tournament style event with 3 games guaranteed with a Championship game!

In addition, the Sporting Club Network will be working alongside GSI to create additional opportunities for participating teams, coaches, players and parents to learn more about the college recruitment process. Included in these ancillary events will be combines for players to gain additional exposure in front of college staff, coaching education opportunities for youth and collegiate coaches to learn from Sporting KC's technical staff, and even college panels to educate parents and players on the ins and outs of college soccer recruiting.

Tournament Key Benefits

To All Referees

You must fill out a W9 form and email it back before the tournament starts. All certified referees interested in officiating in this tournament should contact Huw Savage.

 

Showcase KC Combine

In addition to the SHOWCASE KC games, players have the opportunity to attend the SHOWCASE KC Combine.

The Combine will be held at the Scheels Overland Park Soccer Complex on Friday prior to the first games. The Combine allows for players to be COACHED & EVALUATED by multiple coaches in a 2 hour session. This provides a 2-way evaluation process. College coaches get to work with the players in practice type situations and not just sit on the sideline and watch them perform.

Players, on the other hand, get to experience the mannerisms of the coaches and judge if that coach would be the right fit for them.

  • You beat me to it – I was going to thank you and your group for a great weekend. For the same reasons you mentioned – top rate competition, lot of coaches present and of course the nice but windy weather. I do hope the tornadoes that went through the Midwest did not affect any of the teams.

    Tami Skorczewski DASC U17G Team Manager
  • Thank you for all the work you and your staff puts into making this a success. Our team enjoyed it all except the wind!!!! But being from Wichita we should be used to it!!!

    Joni reichenberger 97 Cholita Strikers
  • Nice Showcase. The KCU Rangers 97/98 Girls had over 20 College Coaches attend our games. Hannah Miller #10 (Creighton) and Mikayla Smith #4 (UMKC) committed last Summer. We have several other offers that are being considered by the Team.

    Kathy Fieber CO United 93/94 Girls Blue Manager
  • Last year we had a great time at the GSi Showcase, but this year was even better with the new complex! This event was again well done, with great fields and weather, and teams closely matched. Too bad we are now U-18 this year as we would surely be back every year.
