FALL SHOWCASE & HIGH-SCHOOL TEAM CLASSIC
General Information and players participation information
PDF version

ILLINOIS SPOT-LITE SHOOT-OUT’S
Are arguably one of the more quality run events during the Fall period. Coaches, scouting services & media heads have the luxury of observing prospects within a short period of time (Shoot-out times are 9:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.). 

The Spot-Lite event has been vastly recognized for identifying lesser known
players, as well as up-coming talent. 
With our experience in planning and organizing the Spot-Lite Events, each participant will be placed in a setting where he could showcase his strengths.

This will not be an event featured around “hot-on-line-buzz” or hype surrounding one particular player or players.

There will be a championship game for open & high school teams. 
Team rosters will be made up by geographic region.  We look forward to working hand
and hand with the Plainfield High School Staff, as well as the community to make this
event entertaining.

WHEN:
SUNDAY,
September 7th, 2014
9:30 AM TO 4:00 PM

WHERE
Plainfield Central H. S
611 West Fort Beggs Dr. (Fieldhouse) Plainfield, IL




**Player participation fee is 40.00.  Upon arrival you will receive a jersey, roster and game match-ups.
