Southern Star All-Star Showcase's - August 2009
Due to demand, we now have three events in August, choose the one that best suits your needs based on your colleges of interest. Each event is attended by college coaches on a regional basis.
August 8-9 Boyton Beach, FL
August 15-16 Peachtree City, GA
August 29-30 Las Vegas, NV
1) For those who have played in these events before, we do need an updated registration, so please go to the web site and request a new one. www.southernstarsoftball.com
2) For those of you who have not heard of or played in one of these events, here is a brief description:
This is an open college exposure event for individuals who are seeking to be recognized by college coaches as players having the potential and desire to play softball in college. For August 2009 you must be planning to graduate from 2010 to 2013 to be eligible to enter. This is not a TEAM event. You sign up as as individual and we place you on teams to play 4 games in front of college coaches. No matter what grade you are in coaches are wanting to find players who have that extra desire to play at the next level. Do not rely on just your travel team or high school team for college exposure. You must cover all the bases. This is one of the pieces of the puzzle and could be a big piece. It is never too early, nor too late! But you need to get started early and the later it is in your career, the more events you need to participate in. We help guide you in the recruiting process and help you contact coaches to come see you play. Our system works, this format works and can be a useful tool to help you win the recruiting game.
Questions that always come up:
"I MAY HAVE A CONFLICT ON SATURDAY, BUT I DO NOT KNOW AT THIS TIME. CAN I STILL SIGN UP TO PARTICIPATE AND LET YOU KNOW LATER?"
"MY HIGH SCHOOL TEAM PLAYS ON THAT SATURDAY. CAN I STILL PARTICIPATE?"
"MY HIGH SCHOOL COACH SAYS HE DOES NOT WANT ME PLAYING DURING THE HIGH SCHOOL SEASON. BUT I WANT TO GO TO COLLEGE AND PLAY SOFTBALL. WHAT DO I DO?"
If any of these are you, please read below.
ATTENTION EVERYONE - We realize that many schools start in August, some high school sports start in August and in Georgia, even HS softball starts in August. This event does not conflict with any high school events and is endorsed by most high school coaches in the states we are in. This event is not for everyone and is just for those seeking college exposure. If you have a conflict on the Saturday of the event (high school games or practice), you can request to be on a Sunday only team, so therefore you can still participate. We are not saying that you need to skip practice or games to participate, we make arrangements for you as you can be on a Sunday only team. Remember, if someone says that you can not play in this during a high school season; nobody can dictate to you what you do on your own time, except your parents. This is your chance to be seen by dozens of college coaches and if anyone tries to tell you that you can not participate in this event, ask them if they are going to help pay your way to college. Otherwise you have to do what is best for you. It is your time, it is your business and this is your chance to help yourself. (Not trying to be rude, just being honest) Do not miss out.
REMINDER - If you are unsure of your high school schedule in August, that is OK. Go ahead and sign up, but you must let us know by July 1 if you need to be on a Sunday only team or now.
THESE EVENTS WILL FILL UP, SO DO NOT WAIT! DEADLINE TO ENTER IS JULY 1, 2009.
Go to www.southernstarsoftball.com for more information and to request an entry form.
If you are unsure if this event is right for you, call you nearest college coach and ask their opinion. Don't take mine or anyone else's word for it, don't listen to anyone except for those that it benefits the most, the college coaches. Also if you need some personal stories, I can send you e-mails from the over 2 dozen seniors who have played in these events over the last year that have been seen, evaluated and signed from their participation. They know!
Good luck in softball,
Ty |

| Thanks for the info, wish we had heard about this website about 4 months ago. Verbaled early and happy with the decision, but found out afterwards that there was a third school interested too. Sometimes it's good to FORCE your child to visit schools to make sure it should get crossed off the list. ALso, even if your travel ball coach says a school isn't a possibility, don't listen - go visit anyway. AND unofficial visits can start earlier than we all would think. We thought it couldn't happen until Sept. 1 of the junior year, but alas, it could have been started years ago. |
