Future Prospects Showcase - Madison: Preview


By Wisconsin Staff


This Saturday, March 14, the PBR Wisconsin team will make its way to Madison for the weekend to host its first of two showcases at GRB Academy in Windsor: the
Future Prospects Showcase - Madison event. This event is aimed at 7th and 8th grade athletes, graduating classes 2024 and 2025.

This showcase has a dual function: to teach prospects about the showcase atmosphere and the recruiting process as well as to identify young talent who will be in the mix for invitations later in the year to join us for the annual PBR Junior Future Games event in August. For more information on this year’s Junior Future Games event, click here.

For most participants, this will be their first showcase event. We’ll use our time on Saturday to teach the prospects in attendance what scouts are on the lookout for, how to comport themselves in the showcase setting, and what to expect from the recruiting process. Our staff will also be evaluating the talent making its way to Madison on Saturday in an effort to more accurately track the progress these young prospects make throughout their careers.

There’s still room to register, too. For sign-up information, click here. To view the list of the prospects already set to attend Saturday’s showcase, click here.
