9 days til Boys Philly Showcase Weekend…

The following email was sent to all participants today:

Dear Philly Boys Showcase Sophomore/Junior Players and Parents,

As you know, the 2011 Philly Boys Showcase is taking place on Saturday, November 19.  This email contains important information about the event and about our communication schedule leading up to the event.

ROSTERS/GAME SCHEDULE

The team rosters and the final game schedule for the Philly Boys Showcase will be released this Friday.  The rosters and schedule will first be available on our media partner, PhillyLacrosse.com.  We will also email them to all participants in our final email early next week (discussed below) and put them on our website.

FINAL EMAIL

We will be sending a final email to all participants and parents early next week.  We are aiming for Tuesday, and it will be Wednesday at the latest.  That email will include a detailed map of the venue and detailed directions and parking information.  It will review registration procedures and the couple of things you need to bring to the event.  It will also review the free video of all games that will be provided to all participants and describe how that process will work.

WEATHER POLICY

The Philly Showcase is going to occur rain or shine.  Just for your information, in the highly unfortunate event that we get heavy rain the day of the event and the natural surface fields at Episcopal Academy become unplayable, the Philly Showcase will enact its weather contingency plan.  All games will be moved to the turf fields at Episcopal and all teams will be guaranteed a minimum of two games. 

REFUND POLICY

The Philly Showcase is completely full at this time and all player data is in the process of being sent to press to create the program book for college coaches.  At this time we cannot fill any additional spots off the wait list and are thus unable to process any refunds except for documented medical conditions.

TEXT ALERT

We ask all players and attending parents to register for the Philly Showcase text alert system by texting "2011SHOWCASE" to 84483.  We have found texting to be the most effective method of communication during events, and will use the system to keep everyone updated about schedule, parking, and weather issues should they arise.

Finally, we are very excited for this event and to host all of you.  We believe the group of players participating on Saturday the 19th represents one of the best collections of high school lacrosse talent ever put together.

If you have any other questions please check the site or email us.

See you at the event,
