Academic Showcase set for July

SHARE Academic Showcase set for July

By Joe Henricksen

The Elite Academic Athletes Showcase, an event for incoming sophomores, juniors and seniors, will take place next month in Lake Barrington. The one-day showcase will be July 11 at the Lake Barrington Fieldhouse and run from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m.

The event will include a NBA-like combine to give each student-athlete an opportunity to show his abilities in front of college coaches at all levels, including highly-regarded academic universities. There will be skill work and drills prior to players being placed on teams. The afternoon session will include a team practice and three games. Each player must carry at least a “B” average academically to participate (3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale or a 3.7 GPA on a 5.0 scale).

For those student-athletes interested in participating or for more information, call (847)-260-8119 or email info@eliteacademicathletes.info.
