2020 SCHEDULE
EVENT INFORMATION
Join athletes from the class of 2022 and top underclassmen looking to showcase their talent at The DICK'S Sporting Goods Regional Showcase. This event allows athletes to receive a verified football rating, compete in drills designed to showcase your athleticism that will be shared with college coaches to help recruiting, and even earn a shot at going all the way to The National Showcase in the summer of 2021.
Tested last year? Come see where you've improved before moving onto the next level. Still being slept on? This is a great chance to make a name for yourself.
The DICK'S Sporting Goods Regional Showcase will allow participants to be measured, photographed and then after a dynamic warmup, compete in the four testing events in a safe, supervised and professional environment:
40-yard Dash (two attempts, fastest time kept)
20-yard or 5-10-5 shuttle (one attempt to left, one to right, fastest time kept)
Vertical Jump (standing jump, two attempts, best jump kept)
Kneeling Power Ball toss (6 lbs. ball toss, two attempts, best toss kept)
Upon completion of the testing, athletes will receive an athletic football rating, which lets them know how they rank amongst not only their peers but also some of the greats of the game, most of whom have participated during the 25 years of Student Sports football events.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
THE REGIONAL SHOWCASE
Q: Who can attend a The DICK'S Sporting Goods Regional Showcase? Can seniors (Class of 2020) attend a DICK'S Showcase?
A: The DICK'S Regional Showcase are intended for top prospects in the Class of 2022 as well as elite underclassmen. To be considered for a spot in the event, players may submit their information at our Player Submission link, or be nominated by their high school head coach at our Coaches Submission Link.
Q: What’s the cost of a attending a DICK'S Showcase?
A: The DICK'S Showcase is free of charge.
Q: What is the difference between a DICK'S Showcase and a Regional Camp?
A: There are not any all-position regional camps being run by Student Sports this year. We look forward to offering great athlete opportunities and experiences through The DICK’S Showcase, the Elite 11 QB Regional Camps, the Elite 11 QB Academies and the Final 5 OL Academies. Top performers from The DICK’S Showcases will be eligible for selection to compete at The National Showcase as well in the summer of 2021.
Q: Can a bad performance at a DICK'S Showcase hurt my stock?
A: No, because of the “scratch rule.” Student Sports cares about the athlete first. If an athlete does not like a particular mark, the time or mark may be scratched from the results. Even so, college coaches put more emphasis on how players perform in pads. A disappointing time in the 40 will not lead to colleges dropping a player. At events, running backs and wide receivers have run 4.8′s and linebackers run 5.2′s and still sign with major D‐I programs.
Q: How do I scratch my testing results?
A: Athletes can email scratch@studentsports.com after the event to have their results scratched. Please be sure to include the athlete’s name, event attended and the results you want to have scratched. Please note that scratching any of the testing results will not yield a Rating.
Q: My school is not listed on the registration page. What should I do?
A: If you do not see your school of the list of high schools after selecting the state, you can request to have your school added to the list. Please complete your registration using another school from the appropriate state then email the athletes name, correct high school, including the school city & state and the event registered to attend.

You will need to print out this confirmation and bring with you to the DICK'S Showcase.
Q: I registered for a DICK'S Showcase and did not receive my confirmation email with my Event Pass. How can I retrieve it?

Q: Why are there different check‐in times for certain athletes? Will I be missing something by coming later in the day?

A: In order to compete at your preferred position, we ask that athletes show up and check-in at the designated times.

Q: Online registration is closed but will I be able to register onsite at the DICK'S Showcase as a walkup?

Q: Will there be 1 on 1’s at the DICK'S Showcase?
A: No. The DICK'S Showcase is strictly for testing an athlete’s athletic ability and displaying movements in position-specific drills. All position drills will be filmed for college coaches and distributed post-event along with testing results. There will not be 1-on-1 drills that take place at the DICK'S Showcase. However some DICK'S Showcases are followed by an Elite 11 QB regional, so skill players can stay after to run routes and catch passes with the quarterbacks. To register as a pass-catcher for an Elite 11 QB regional click here.

A: Cleats/running shoes to run in, workout gear and your Event Pass and Event waiver, which can be found in the email confirmation. Take a look at the field-type beforehand to determine the best type of cleats/shoes you should run in. NO TRACK SPIKES!! We recommend that athletes leave all valuables in the car or with parents or coaches. Every registered athlete will receive an event shirt at the conclusion of the event. Student Sports is not responsible for any lost or stolen items, please pack accordingly and note that you don’t need to bring a lot to test.
