You might want to not lock in trick-or-treating plans with your favorite softball player as there?s a good chance she could be at, or travelling to, one of the elite events for the Fall season.
The Diamond 9 Sun Classic Fall Showcase runs from October 31 to November 3 this year at the Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fla. and will see many of the top teams and players participating, including 35 teams from California alone.
You?ve got quality, for sure, and certainly the quantity: there will be close to 200 teams this year with an estimated 300 college coaches in attendance.
To give you an idea how the event has grown immensely, consider these numbers: in 2010, the first year of the Fall Showcase, there were 75 teams. Year 2 had 109 and last year, Year 3, saw 150 compete.
The structure is a five or seven game guarantee and according to the event?s director, Kevin O?Donnell, it?s a ?pure showcase? which will also included a National Skills Combine on Halloween Day where 25 college coaches will instruct and coach uncommitted players.
Here?s a partial list of some of the elite teams expected to attend from across the nation:
? four So Cal A?s teams (including the PGF champion Bruce Richardson-led team)
? four Mizuno-sponsored teams, including both OC Batbusters teams (see yesterday?s Daily Update for those team rosters)
? Arizona Hotshots
? Beverly Bandits (Ill.)
? Birmingham Bolts (Ala.)
? Carolina Elite (S.C.)
? East Cobb Bullets (Ga.)
? Houston Power (Texas)
? Miami Stingrays (Fla.)
? NC Lady Lightning-Miken (N.C.)
? Nebraska Nemesis
? Ohio Outlaws
? Rhode Island Thunder
? Tampa Mustangs (Fla.)
? Team North Florida
? Texas Blaze
? Tennessee Fury
? Tulsa Shootout (Okla.)
? Wagner?s Gold (Fla.)
? Washington Ladyhawks
? Windermere Wildfire (Fla.)
