Age Groups
The 2024 Baltimore College Showcase Presented by adidas will be held on December 14-15, 2024. This event is open to Boys and Girls teams of all skill-levels ages U15-U19. This showcase style event will be played on all turf fields, and routinely attracts upwards of 100 college coaches to identify talent. All teams are guaranteed three (3) games over the course of the weekend. All teams will play their games on the turf fields at the Coppermine Copperplex in Edgewood, MD.
Leveling The Playing Field collects used sports equipment to give to underprivileged communities where children may not have affordable access to sports equipment and programs. They’ve donated over 100,000 items to youth sports organizations allowing them to reduce the cost of entry into these programs. It has also allowed these programs to hire and train more staff for additional programs and more personalized coaching. We will be collecting used sports equipment for Leveling The Playing Field at all of our tournament locations! Drop off donations at the headquarters area or with your field marshal.

COLLEGE COACHES

Please make sure that you update your player profile information in the GotSoccer system so it is accessible by college coaches. You may need to contact your team manager or coach to add this information. This is the information that will be given to college coaches looking to recruit players.
Player Self-Recruiting
Elite Tournaments highly recommends that players reach out to the schools that they are interested in playing for. Many coaches come to our events to scout for pick up players, but will not realize that you interested in playing for their team unless you reach out to them! We also know that you have many schools that you are looking to play for that are not currently signed up to attend our event. You are encouraged to reach out to schools you are looking to attend, and let them know which events you will be playing in this season. We welcome you to invite these coaches to attend this event. If you have a coach that you are inviting to attend, please have them pre-register at the link above.
