Empire State Takeover Girls Upstate Elite Showcase

*I regret to inform all middle schoolers & families interested that the morning session (6th-8th grade) has been canceled. Refunds to those who paid have already been issued. The reason for the cancellation is that numbers were simply too low to carry on a strong event, especially due to a large number of last minute backouts. It kills me to have to call off a session, but I would rather refund and take the proverbial loss than put on an event that isn't worth everyone's time and money spent. I sincerely apologize for this being the case, and I appreciate your understanding.*

This doesn't affect the HS session in the afternoon, however, which is nearly at max capacity! If you're interested in Sunday afternoon's event, don't wait to register as the hard cap is nearly reached!


IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

Date: Sunday, October 9, 2016
Time: 1 PM - 5 PM (open to 9th-12th grade)
Site: Schenectady High School (Pat Riley Sports Center), Schenectady, NY
Cost: $60 (shirt included)

9th-12th grade girls & families: in just over a week, Empire State Takeover will wrap up its 2016 series of events with the Upstate Elite Showcase, a one-day fall event for the serious basketball player looking to test & show their ability with and against some of the best players the region has to offer, and for the older crew, the chance to do that in front of numerous college coaches!

There will be two separate sessions on Sunday, October 9, all at the Pat Riley Sports Center @ Schenectady High School in Schenectady, NY. The event will take place from 1 PM - 5 PM, and is open to all high school girls who want to test their game with & against many of the region's finest, along with those who have aspirations to play basketball at the college level. Participants will go through 3v3 work, plenty of 5v5 action, and a high intensity individual skills session simultaneously with 5v5 games. This format, not unlike a college elite camp, allows the opportunity for participants to have an outlet to work on their game for the future along with showcase their game in the present.

Hundreds of Division II, III, junior colleges, and prep schools have been sent information on the event, with a solid representation expected in attendance. All 5v5 action will be filmed as well, something I started with in the EST summer league. The summer league film has been sent out to over 150 Division I schools as a freebie, something I'll also do with the older session here.

Cost for the event is $60, shirt included. The easiest way to submit payment is through PayPal - links are placed on the Fall Events page (link below) and below the registration forms online. Cash or check in person is also acceptable. All that's needed to fully register is by filling out the aforementioned registration/coaches' packet form and submitting payment.

College practices start on October 15. Don't miss this great opportunity - and perhaps the last one of the fall - to get strong college exposure, good bump, and a chance to GET BETTER at a relatively low cost! Information, registration links, and PayPal link is at www.empirestatetakeover.org/en/Fall-Events/ - if there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. I hope to see you in the gym on October 9!
