Food/Drink Policy
Some sites have very strict food/drink policies while others may be more lenient. Please be respectful of tournament staff who will provide further instructions at each site. Specifically, the Roanoke Civic Center, Spectrum Sports Academy, and Patrick Henry HS will NOT allow any outside food/drink in the building with the exception of water bottles for players. The RCC will be searching bags/purses to enforce this policy upon entrance and there is a separate entrance for players to speed up their entry. Concessions are sold onsite so don't try to sneak in your morning coffee or fast food lunch. :) Also, no chairs are permitted inside Patrick Henry HS but bleachers are provided.


After our 1st pool Sunday morning!   We're ready for gold playoffs!

Showcase During Shamrock!


Here is the email I received from Mark Tanis.

 

Recruiting Showcase    Participants are accepted - pending availability - when payment is received.  You can see names here:  (http://shamrockfestival.org/Showcase_Approved_Display.php).  Final acceptances will occur in the days before the tournament begins so register online and/or send your check ASAP if you want to show your stuff to the many college coaches who will be recruiting at Shamrock.  A complete list of the pre-registered schools is posted at www.shamrockfestival.org.

New:  We have now opened up the Showcase to 8th graders who want to get the experience of a Recruiting Showcase at a young age.  Class of 2016 participants will only be accepted if there is still room next week as we do not want them to take spots from upperclassmen, however, as of today it appears that we will have room for some of them.


Now a note from Coach Houser:   Going to a showcase isn't something I recommend to freshmen.  Sophomores, maybe.  Why?  There are usually almost no college coaches watching freshmen, and very few watching sophs.  Most coaches in attendance will be D3 coaches who are looking at helping their teams next fall.
 


 


Tournament Format:

This is the 15/16's schedule at Shamrock: 

* A 3-team pool at 11am on Saturday. 
* Another 3-team pool starting 5pm on Saturday.
* A 3-team pool starting 8am Sunday. 
* Playoffs begin at approximately noon on Sunday.

This will be the weekend where we'll be losing an hour of sleep,
so let's be ready!
