From Press Release
There’s no better way to launch the biggest weekend of the lacrosse year.
Denver head coach Bill Tierney, who led the Pioneers to their first national championship last spring, highlights the Philly Showcase Kickoff this Friday, Nov. 20 at Main Line Sports Center. MLSC is located at 1340 Swedesford Road, Berwyn, Pa. 19312.
Tierney, who also won six national championships at Princeton, will speak on the modern recruiting landscape. All players who are registered to play in the Nike Boys Philly Showcase and Nike Philly Freshman Showcase are invited to attend the Kickoff. The Kickoff offers participants a chance to register early and collect their Showcase Lacrosse gear bags. Registration begins at 7:30. There will also be a gear store open from 7:30-9.
The night will feature Division I coaches running a 30-minute position-based skills clinic at 8 p.m. Each clinic will feature a Division I coach specialized at that position for attackers, midfielders, faceoff specialists, defensemen and goalies. Players attending are encouraged to get there early to make sure they have time to warm up and get loose.
“Coach Tierney is in a class of his own as a coach and his résumé speaks for itself,” Director of Showcase Lacrosse Brett Manney said. “It’s special to have someone of his caliber highlight the Philly Showcase Kickoff before the two biggest recruiting events in the country.”
