Another successful adidas Blue Chip Showcase!

The tournament, featuring elite Men and Women teams from around the country and Canada, is one of the premier college showcase recruiting events in the country.
300+ college coaches attended the tournament over both weekends and the Classics Hammer FC received numerous compliments from the coaches, and participating teams, regarding the quality of the event and the great effort put forth by the Showcase organizers and support staff.
There were also some key media personnel in attendance at both events, including Mr. Robert Ziegler of Top Drawer Soccer.com. Mr. Ziegler, who attended the Men's weekend Showcase, shared his thoughts on the Top Drawer web site and you can read his article by, clicking here.
