Dear Coaches:

2016 dates for the Brian Ostrower High School Showcase are February 18, 19, 20 and 21, 2016. Northwestern High is the host team.

Invitations will be extended to high schools in Tennessee and Virginia. Manchester Meadows Soccer Complex (site of the 2012 US YSA National Championship) is approximately four (4) hours from Knoxville, TN; three (3) hours from Johnson City, TN; less than four (4) hours from Knoxville, TN and less than three (3) hours from Danville, VA. Interstate 77 easliy connects with Interstate 85, Interstate 40, Interstate 26 and Interstate 20. Rock Hill, South Carolina is only nine (9) miles south of Charlotte, North Carolina.

The City of Rock Hill PRT and York County/Rock Hill Convention and Visitor Bureau have both recommended over the last two (2) years that the tournament be moved to February 18, 19, 20 and 21, 2016 as we hope to take advantage of lower hotel rates for those teams wishing accommodations.

With the diversity of teams, the hope is that the purpose of such scheduling is to play teams that you will not see in the regular season or until the state championships. To the extent that Northwestern HS can, the committee will try to accommodate other scheduling wishes.

All games will be played at the stadium fields (artificial turf) at Manchester Meadows Soccer Complex and District III Stadium (artificial turf). Both venues are two (2) miles apart. Inclement weather will not be an issue.

The Entry Fee will only be a total of $385.00 which will guarantee each school four (4) games. NO PURCHASE OF T-SHIRTS REQUIRED. Three (3) man teams of game officials will be used. Four (4) man teams of game officials will be use for the semi-final and final matches on Sunday, February 21, 2016.

ENTRY FEE IS NOT DUE UNTIL FEBRUARY 1, 2016. Only a signed contract guaranteeing your team's appearance is necessary. Contracts will be delivered after Labor Day 2015.
