URGENT MESSAGE FROM THE LAKE ERIE SHOWCASE DIRECTORS

We wanted to let everyone we have made a change to the schedule.

The Lake Erie Showcase is predominantly a club traveling tournament with most of the teams attending traveling over 3+ hours. We are worried that these teams, except those from Michigan, may experience some serious traffic delays crossing the Grand Island Bridge. Therefore to error on the safe side, we are starting EVERY GAME ON SATURDAY 1-Hour LATER. Thus the 10 am starting time is now 11am. We would ask all those teams to leave home at the same time however!

Also, on Sunday morning, from 8:15 to 8:45 (prior to the first game), college coaches will be meeting with any interested athletes and teaching skills and answering athlete's questions (not parents). Please encourage you athletes to attend. Thank you for your understanding. We will be posting a new schedule on the website shortly.
