Didn't think I'd be able to make one of these posts this year... but here we are!
EST events have been a wash in 2020 to this point due to COVID and NY's restriction on indoor athletics as a whole. After some thought and a lot of inquiry about the annual fall event, I decided to try & make it happen across state lines in PA... thanks to the crew at Riverfront Sports Complex, that's become a reality.
The 6th Annual EST Fall Showcase will take place on Saturday, November 7 in the afternoon & evening hours at Riverfront, located not far off the highway in Scranton, PA. Session times will run from 2:30-5:30 & 6:00-9:00, and the event is open to girls in the 2021-2024 classes.

Each session includes a heavy dose of controlled, competitive 3v3 & 5v5 play along with an individual skill work session. The format is constructed to allow players to show their ability in a variety of outlets. With the combination of those three specific pieces, it provides a chance to not only get noticed and compete with & against many of the region's best players, but also to get better in the process! The skill work has typically been coordinated by current or former collegiate coaches, and alongside the traditional 5v5 action, 3v3 play has been noted by many attending college coaches as extremely beneficial in the evaluation process.
College coaches, scouting services, and basketball-specific media outlets from throughout the greater region will be invited to attend. Along with that, all 3v3 & 5v5 play will be recorded with game film easily accessible directly after the event - extremely important given our current situation in 2020 and many college programs facing travel limitations or freezes. EST events have always been geared toward providing maximum exposure for all of its participants, and by adjusting to the times and 'finding a way', this year will be no different.
Now to bring up the elephant in the room... COVID. It's obviously a concern for many, and rightfully so. Even though I've been traveling the last couple months, considering my family medical history and living a life around immunocompromised people (which has been well-documented this year), it will always be a thought that weighs heavily on me. This is why I haven't made a push to do anything in 2020 until now, whether it be outdoors in NY or indoors anywhere else. If I'm doing it, I'm going to control what can be controlled and make it as safe & low-risk as possible. Sterilizing benches between 5v5 games, sterilizing basketballs, limiting the amount of people at one court or basket as much as possible and amount of court to court traffic, utilizing separate doors at different parts of the building for entrance & exit... no stone will go unturned. Also, in the few times I've been to Riverfront Sports this year, I think they've done a fantastic job running a tight ship and providing as safe & secure of an environment as possible. If the concern is too great for someone to participate, I completely understand and always will. However, I'll make sure to be as thorough as possible to help provide the safest possible setting.

A total of 155 players from the Classes of 2016-2020 that participated in EST one-day showcase events have moved on to play at the college level - the vast majority of those from 2018-2020 as EST events have moved forward. They span all levels of college basketball, from Power 5 conferences at the highest levels of D1 ball to nearly every D3 conference in the Northeast. In addition, 22 members of the Class of 2021 have committed to play at the next level so far - 17 of them to D1 programs. As D3 prospects begin to commit, that cumulative number will skyrocket. A full list is always available upon request. In short, the level of competition at this & all EST events is strong, and prospects of all levels have proven themselves on event day. Will you be next?
I anticipate this year's installment of the EST Fall Showcase to fill up quickly. My advice: don't wait until the last minute to register! This event has sold out the last two years and the waiting list was nearly 20 deep last fall. I don't want to have to turn people away, but my goal has always been to maximize the benefit & experience which means to limit participants... and that sentiment is only amplified this year. A player list will be added to this post soon and will be updated daily. If there are any questions, feel free to contact me directly. Hope to see you in Scranton on November 7! UPDATE... AS OF OCTOBER 20, THE EVENT HAS SOLD OUT AGAIN!
