Why should my team attend your event?

Because we are the top Boys Showcase in the entire REGION! St. Louis Scott Gallagher has been proud to host this amazing event for 20 years and this year it'll be even bettert!  State of the art turf facilities will be utilized at Creve Coeur Park Soccer Complex, Lou Fusz Athletic, WWT Soccer Park and O'Fallon Family Sports ParkThis event is a who’s who of Midwestern Soccer teams along with teams from CO, CANADA, TN, OK, AL, GA, AR and even Texas and California.

 

How do you decide who gets into your event?

First, we anticipate accepting every team that applies and we have back-up fields rented in case we have record breaking numbers with the opening of the two amazing local turf facilities.  Second, we use a number of resources for determining who makes it into each year’s event. We start with looking at where teams want to be placed. This does not make a huge impact on placement, but we can at least have a starting point. We use all of the data on your application and the NOTES section is huge for helping us know more about your team. The top level teams in the USYSA National League are in.  So are any USDA and ECNL program teams. NPL teams are in. We use results in these leagues, plus your local league, State Cup Results, Tournament Results, National Soccer Ranking, GOTSOCCER scores, past Boys Showcase results, Regional Experts from other clubs…You name it we use it. Make sure you fill out your application and notes as complete as possible.

How do you bracket Teams?

We use a number of resources for team placement in each bracket or division. We will bracket in groups of 4-8 for the best possible competition and with the diversity of this event, you should not play a team from your state unless it is Illinois and sometimes Missouri. All of the criteria listed under the first question are also used to help determine brackets. Recent league play, strength of league, ECNL, NPL & National League Standings and results, performance in State Cup, USYSA Regional’s and USYSA Nationals, US Club Regional’s and National’s and other top-level tournaments, diversity with geography, and other criteria go in to our bracketing decisions.
