Plans are currently under way for the the 2015 Fall Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase. This event should be our biggest and most competitive ever, as many of the nation's top players will be attending! Our reputation as a "must attend" event is well documented, and this year will be no different. We are looking for the best players to compete in our events. The showcase is scheduled for September 12th & 13th at Otterbein University in Columbus Ohio. For more information, please visit the event information to the right of this website. There you will find a committed player list as well as event updates.
Below is an email that was sent out today to everyone on on our bulk email list. If you have attended past Buckeye Prep Elite Showcases and did not receive the email, contact Rob Taylor at taylorobe@aol.com and an invitation will be sent out to you. For other ranked players who feel they have what it takes to compete at the highest levels, fell free to contact us as well
Parents,
Coaches, Players,
We
are now a little under 60 days before my September 11th & 12th
Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase (fall).
Attached is an invitation for your son/player. As was the case last September, the event
will be loaded with talent and will represent another opportunity for your
son/player to compete against the best players from around Ohio, the Midwest
and the nation. The fall showcase attracted over 500 very talented players, and
this September’s event will exceed that.
The addition of the NYBL’s top kids will only make this event that much
more competitive. As is the case with every Buckeye Prep Elite Showcase, the
exposure opportunities will be great, as there will be numerous scouting
services, video guys and small college coaches in the house to document the
action.
As
I have done before, I will be maintaining a running list of the players who
have committed to the event (right hand side of the website). This is not an official list and will not
hold your son/player a spot in the showcase.
Only a full payment of the $145.00 registration fee by the deadline will
guarantee a spot. Also, for your convenience, I have placed a Pay Pal link in
the upper right hand corner of the website if you would like to pay the fee
online with a credit card. When using
Pay Pal, please enter your son/player’s name, grade, height and position in the
space provided, as this will assist me to match your payment with the
registration forms. Also, please make sure you note the Pay Pal receipt number
on the registration form, and then bring the receipt with you the morning of
the event. If you plan to attend the
event, please email with your intentions, provide me with your son’s name,
grade, height and position, then send in the registration forms and fee ASAP.
Please do not send registration forms without the fee!
Once
again, we will be hosting a 2nd-5th grade division for
the younger players. Because of the smaller numbers with these age groups, this
division may be combined into 1 division. Please help pass the word about the
younger division, as most people may not recognize the addition.
As
the date of the showcase gets closer, I will be sending out emails and updating
the website. It is very important that
you continue to follow the website up until the day of the event (http://www.BbuckeyePrep.blogspot.com) for updates,
as things may change. I know I don’t have email addresses for everybody, and some
people don’t use the internet very often; therefore, please help me spread the
message and share the information and updates with those parents who you know
may not receive the information they need.
If you know of a ranked player, or any kid who may be talented enough to
attend the event, have them contact me for an invitation.
For
those of you who have not attended Buckeye Prep showcases in the past, below
are a number of links to articles and videos from past events. Please take the
time to go through the material as they offer some great insight into the nature
of the events. For those you who have
participated in the showcases, you know that the competition is fierce; the right
people are there watching; and the event is always well run.
Based
on the level of participation last September, the positive feedback we received
after the event, this event will likely be SOLD OUT. Because of facility
limitations, once all of the spots have been filled, I cannot add additional
players. Spots will be filled on a “first come, first served basis.” If you
have any questions or concerns, emailing me is the best option, but feel free
to call me at 614-203-2929. I hope to
see you in March!
PS.
I’m always looking for quality coaches. If you enjoy working with kids, have a
coaching background, can be objective and are interested in coaching at the
event, please email me. Coaches will receive a showcase T-shirt and free meals
and drinks in our coaches and media only hospitality lounge. Please note, you
cannot coach your son or player(s), and every attempt will be made to schedule
around your son’s games.
