General Info – College Showcase: U16 to U19 Teams
Teams and Players
The Hempfield Fall Classic College Showcase portion of the tournament will be held on both Saturday and Sunday of the girls and boys weekends and will be available to all teams accepted to the U16-U19 ages in all divisions.
We directly invite over 400 colleges and their coaches from the region to come and observe these older players.
Player Profile books will be created within GotSport and distributed by the tournament. All Team managers/coaches will receive information upon acceptance regarding how to add your tournament roster and player information within their GotSport team account. To be included in this player profile info provided to college coaches, you must complete the steps we will provide. It is completely free, and these profile books will be available to college coaches nationwide as well as to those attending the event. If upon acceptance your roster profile is not finalized it can be updated up until Nov 6 for Girls and Nov 13 for Boys. Please review the Player Profile Info further down this page for more info.
Additionally, the Friday Night College ID Exhibition Games will be held: on Friday, Nov 11 for girls and Friday, Nov 18 for boys. The college coaches love this format because they know that everyone that is playing wants to play in college. We have done this for years with our events as do some of our local tournaments and have had very good success with this format.
- We will host two girls matches on Friday evening, Nov 11 and two boys matches on Friday evening Nov 18, and we invite each team’s head coach to initially nominate 2 players graduating in 2022 or 2023 from their team that want to play in college to play in the games. This is great opportunity for college coaches to see current players interested in playing in college.
- Once all the tournament team coaches nominate their first 2 players, if we have not filled the team roster then we allow teams to nominate additional players and if space allows 2024 graduating players.
Team players
Once accepted to the tournament players should begin to contact colleges they are interested in to let them know they will attend the Hempfield Fall Classic. This generates more interest from the college coaches to attend the event.
- Weekend Tournament Schedules will be posted on or around Oct 28 for Girls Teams and Nov 4 for Boys Teams, and we suggest you share the link to the schedules web page with college coaches between Oct 31 and Nov 7 for girls and Nov 8 and 15 for boys. Send your schedule to any school you are interested in by letting them know you will be playing at the Hempfield Fall Classic and providing them with a link to your schedule.
- Registered College Coaches to date will be posted on Oct 15 (Note: invitations to coaches will go out mid-Sept and please understand that coaches tend not to register until closer to event)
BE SURE TO Work with your team manager/administrator or coach to ensure that any information you would like included in your roster profile is ready to go.
PLAYER PROFILES ARE DUE ON NOV 6 AT 5:00 PM FOR GIRLS AND NOV 13 AT 5:00 PM FOR BOYS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PROFILE BOOKS SENT TO COLLEGE COACHES. In the absence of updating your profile with additional information be assured the coaches will receive your basic info entered by your team administrator.
