### WHAT IS A SHOWCASE?

A showcase is an exciting event that brings together a diverse group of talented athletes from a specific region, all eager to compete against peers of similar skill levels. It serves as a platform for these athletes to display their exceptional abilities and prove themselves as the best at their respective positions.

### WHAT HAPPENS AT A SHOWCASE?

During a showcase, athletes undergo a thorough evaluation designed to assess their performance across a variety of skill-focused drills. These drills provide measurable data, including crucial statistics such as height, weight, speed, agility, and strength. After the initial assessments, participants receive tailored coaching—both individually and in groups—focused on their specific positions. This coaching aims to refine their skills and enhance their performance on the field.

Following the coaching sessions, athletes participate in competitive scenarios, which may include one-on-one matchups or team-based challenges. Coaches closely observe and evaluate each athlete’s performance, taking into account not only measurable outcomes but also their competitive spirit and their ability to understand and implement instructions effectively.

### WHY SHOULD AN ATHLETE ATTEND A SHOWCASE?

Participating in a showcase offers athletes a unique opportunity to highlight their skills and validate their performances in front of influential decision-makers. Competing against high-caliber opponents helps them gain invaluable experience and exposure. In today's highly competitive landscape, particularly with the complexities of the college transfer portal, high school athletes need every advantage they can get. The quest for college athletic scholarships has become increasingly challenging, with many institutions now offering only 50% of the scholarships available to high school athletes compared to just three years ago.

By attending a showcase, high school athletes increase their chances of having their measurable data shared with colleges and universities nationwide. Additionally, coverage and detailed write-ups of standout performances are distributed to college sports athletic rating services, providing further visibility.

Under Recruited offers athletes a unique venue to demonstrate their speed, agility, reaction time, and instincts. We meticulously record verifiable measurements, including height, weight, hand size, reach, and wingspan. Athletes undergo a series of drills where they are timed and tested to ensure reliable data is collected for potential college coaches and decision-makers. If an athlete is dissatisfied with their results, they have the option to disregard them entirely.

Furthermore, we film each athlete’s movements during both individual drills and competitive scenarios, capturing their performance in real-time. We also assist our athletes in producing high-quality highlight reels that may include their testing results if they wish. These highlight reels are then shared with college coaches and decision-makers specifically chosen based on our athletes' skills and aspirations, acting as a powerful marketing tool.

Ultimately, athletes attend showcases not just to compete but to shine, to be seen, and to capture the attention of those who can help them advance their athletic careers. Our top performers and surprise standout athletes by position are recognized for their achievements and receive invitations to the prestigious Beast of the East Showcase, with their accomplishments reported to top rating services and colleges across the United States.
