Team Camp

Under MSHSAA By-Laws coaches in Missouri may now see their players for sport specific activities for 20 contact days each summer. This event is classified as a non-school team camp. It is legal for any high school in Missouri to attend and will count as 3 contact days for your program. Missouri also instituted the mandatory 9 day "dead period" for all schools during the summer months. Many schools have chosen different dates, so we hope the weekend we have chosen will not conflict with too many dead periods. Teams from other states should check their guidelines to ensure compliance.


Event Purpose

This event was developed to provide a high quality training experience for high school varsity soccer teams. There will be competitive, yet friendly, matches allowing teams to learn more about themselves as they prepare for the upcoming season. In addition, players will have the opportunity to gain exposure from many college coaches that will be attending the event. TO ENTER THE EVENT, CLICK ON THE "COST/ENTRY FORMS" MENU UNDER THE "PAGES" TAB AT THE TOP.


Format

Each team will play a total of 3 games (1 Thursday, 1 Friday, 1 Saturday).  Check the "Format" menu for more details.  Exceptions may be made by request, if they are possible within the framework of the schedule.


Teams

Teams from Missouri, Kansas, Illinois, and Indiana have all participated in the past.  We will continue to invite teams from a wide geographic area in order to create more diverse competition. We will make every effort to place teams from the same conference, or that play each other routinely, into different pools.


Hotels

If your team is coming from out of town, be sure to check the "Hotels" menu on the left side of this page.  There are hotels listed with negotiated rates for this event.


Coach's Comments

We have been using the STL Showcase for 5 years now to help prepare for our upcoming season and it has been great! The competition is very good and helps teams of all levels get ready. Our players have been contacted by college coaches too, so to be able to help my players get exposure to other college coaches is very helpful to me and my team. It is also held at a great venue. The whole tournament is extremely well run!

"Our team has been attending the STL Varsity Soccer Showcase since 2009 and our experiences in St. Louis each summer have been vital to our success over the past five seasons.  The event gives us the chance to evaluate players, experiment with different formations and strategies and build team chemistry.  The competition is outstanding each year and Jim and Andy do an excellent job accommodating each school's requests when it comes to scheduling.  This event is a great starting point for any program who expects to win championships."
