Baltimore, Maryland – The first of Inside Lacrosse’s fall showcases begins Saturday at the Cash Bagley lacrosse facility in Kernersville, North Carolina. The IL Invitationals give players a unique opportunity to be seen, get noticed and leave their mark.
After a successful summer launch of the Inside Lacrosse Recruiting Invitational team tournament, IL decided to hit the road this autumn for a series of regional individual recruiting showcases for both boys and girls. The IL Regional Invitationals will allow high school players in the classes of 2015-2018 to display their talents in front of college coaches while garnering unprecedented media coverage. Inside Lacrosse’s team of reporters, analysts, photographers and videographers will be out in force to capture the events’ stories, performances, sights and sounds from top to bottom.
The fall regional showcases will take as follows:
Event Date Location
IL Carolina Boys Invitational Oct. 4-5 Kernersville, NC
IL Midwest Boys Invitational Oct. 18-19 St. Louis, MO
IL Southeast Girls Invitational Oct. 25-26 Emerson, GA
IL Southeast Boys Invitational Nov. 1-2 Emerson, GA
IL Upstate Boys Invitational Nov. 2 Syracuse, NY
IL New England Boys Invitational Nov. 8-9 Providence, RI
IL New England Girls Invitational Nov. 8-9 Providence, RI
IL Texas Girls Invitational Nov. 15 Southlake, TX

“The intention of the regional showcases is to provide the high-level event experience Inside Lacrosse is known for while cutting down on travel time and expense for both high schoolers and college coaches,” said Dan Flynn, IL’s Director of Events. “But we can’t be everywhere, so players should know that even if you live outside of the region, you can still be nominated to attend. We know we will provide a unique and satisfying experience to every participant.” High school and club coaches are encouraged to nominate worthy players.

“We’re also excited to announce our partnership with Front Rush, a game-changing software company who provides dynamic resources to help college coaches manage the recruiting process and keep up with potential student-athletes,” said Dan Flynn, IL’s Director of Events.
“Through Front Rush’s CoachPacket product, every college coach in the nation can access event rosters and player information, and most importantly, watch every single minute of every IL Invitational game film no matter what time of year it is. Front Rush, along with our film partner Game Time Footage, makes even the so-called ‘dark’ recruiting periods ‘live’ recruiting periods. Game Time’s high-quality HD footage is also a huge resource for us as we produce highlights, interviews and player spotlights for our IL Recruiting Series.”
