Live Summer Festival

Live Summer Festival

Live Summer Festival Logo

The Live Summer Festival was a huge success last year and we expect an even better turnout of college coaches and talent this year.   The event, which will take place July 13th & 14th,  encompasses three events into one:   
 

  1. Live Player Showcase - For top individual high school players.   Play three games over 2 days in front of college coaches.  REGISTER HERE
  2. Live All-American Showcase - For available Junior College, Post Grad & Seniors.  Play four games over 2 days in front of college coaches. REGISTER HERE
  3. Live Team Showcase -  For select teams. This is an invite-only event for select teams to play showcase games in front of college coaches.  INVITE ONLY


The Live Summer Festival is organized by HoopSeen and Hoop Exchange, two of the leading recruiting services and grassroots event companies in the country.   College coaches have limited time to evaluate prospects in July.  They want convenience and that’s what the Live Summer Festival offers them; three events all under one roof with some of the top talent from across the country.  We maximize their time so we can maximize your opportunity.
