Dear Philly Girls Showcase participants and parents,

The Philly Girls Showcase is this Saturday, November 5! This is your final pre-event email and it contains important information about day of event procedures, so please review carefully!

Location

The Philly Girls Showcase is taking place on Saturday, November 5 at the Westtown School.  Directions to Westtown School are available at: http://www.westtown.edu/directions/directions.aspx.

The main entrance of the Westtown School is located at 975 Westtown Road, West Chester, PA 19382. HOWEVER, all participants must enter campus at the school's South Entrance to school.  The GPS address for the Westtown School South Entrance is 999 Westtown Road, West Chester, PA 19382.

We have attached an event-specific campus map to this email.  All participants and families may park in the blue lots.  As you enter campus at the South Entrance parking staff will be present to guide you to the proper parking lots.

Registration

Registration will begin at 7:00 AM sharp in the registration tent, which is marked on the attached map. Please note that we have to register many players between 7:00 and 8:00am, so try to get there as close to 7:00 AM as possible. All players MUST BRING THE COMPLETED MANDATORY MEDICAL FORM WITH THEM TO REGISTRATION. There will be no exceptions to this policy. We have attached another copy of the medical form to this email.

At registration each player will receive a complimentary event backpack containing her numbered reversible for the event, a credentials badge, a copy of her team roster and schedule, and other goodies. Please note that we will be taking a photo of each player at registration.

Schedule/Rosters

Following registration players will be separated into their teams for morning warmups and games.  The Philly Showcase rosters and the final morning game schedule are attached to this email.   Please note that the roster document has ten teams listed on it, you must scroll down through the document to view all the teams.

Morning games will conclude by around 1pm. There will then be a lunch break and a skills clinic. During this break Showcase Lacrosse will publish rosters for the afternoon deBeer Lacrosse Fab Forty all-star games. The all-star games will begin around 1:30 and conclude by 4pm.

All-Star Selections

The Philly Girls Showcase will have two afternoon all-star games.  The first game will be the 2012/2013 all-star game, and the second all-star game will be the 2014/2015 all-star game.

Selecting all-stars is the hardest part of any Showcase event.  There is no perfect way to do it, but this is what we do.  We assign two evaluators to watch every game, those evaluators are prominent and highly experienced local girls lacrosse coaches.  They assign a numerical grade to every player in every game.  As the event progresses we collect these reports and compile the scores.  At the end of the morning we tally the top-scoring players and announce the all-stars. 

Clothes/Weather/Food

All players will receive a custom event tank reversible to wear during games. It is highly recommended that players check the weather in advance and otherwise dress appropriately. The weather forecast for this weekend is excellent, sunny and in the 50s, but it will still be very cold when games begin in the morning so come prepared.

Westtown School will be operating a concessions stand throughout the day with a full and varied menu, though players and spectators are certainly welcome to bring their own snacks, meals and drinks.  Alcoholic beverages are strictly prohibited from campus.

If you have any other questions please check the site and always feel free to email us.

See you at the event,

The Showcase Lacrosse Crew
