WHERE PLAYERS EVOLVE INTO PROSPECTS
WHY
The opportunities for high school athletes to play at the next level is becoming more and more competitive with the NCAA Transfer Portal, Post Graduate Programs, and increase of high level training resources available to athletes. Currently, most Live Period events focus heavily on pre-selected/predetermined teams. In reality, the majority of independent teams will go unnoticed in Live Period Events that host 200 to 400 high school teams at one time.
PURPOSE
The purpose of NEXT GEN LIVE is to MAXIMIZE EXPOSURE and RECRUITMENT OPPORTUNITIES.
HOW
- Each session will be limited to a select number of teams to increase scouting opportunities and media coverage.
- After every session full prospect evaluation reports will be sent to college coaches of ALL Levels and Post Graduate Programs.
- Standout Prospects will be posted on various media outlets to help bring national awareness of prospects talent.
- Prospects will become a part of our database that will continue to follow and promote the prospect throughout his high school career and provide valuable recruitment resources to the prospect.
