When in fact they have never attended. Shady showcase promoters are banking on you not doing your homework. They know very few people will call these schools to verify the validity of the endorsement. When you are deciding on a showcase, look for the showcases that offer more than just an evaluation situation. Many showcase promoters will have seminars on topics that are important to both parents and players.
Some topics are scholarships and the recruiting process as well as how financial aid works.
These extras tell you that the organizers want to make sure you have a good experience and will go the extra mile to insure that. A positive sign of a well run showcase is when you ask a coach or pro scout about the showcase they know about it and are planning to attend. Invite them to see you display your skills. Anticipate delays due to poor directions Dress before you walk up to the field. Nothing looks worse than a half dressed sloppy ball player Wear a shirt that has your name spelled on the back.
