3rd ANNUAL BATTLE OF THE BORDER SOFTBALL ALL STAR SHOWCASE SET FOR JUNE

.... Team Charlotte versus The Carolinas Region format announced for year three

The 3rd Annual Battle of the Border All Star Showcase is set to return this June.  In just two short years, the event has grown into one of the top showcases of baseball and softball talent in the Southeast.  The Baseball and Softball All Star Showcases will feature top players from the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015 classes.  This year, the Battle of the Border will expand its original borders with a new and exciting format.    

"We are very excited to announce this year's format which will place the top players from Mecklenburg and surrounding counties against the top players from across North and South Carolina," said Tripp Roakes, Co-founder of The Battle of the Border All Star Showcase.  "One of our primary goals, especially with the underclassmen is to provide two outstanding rosters of talented players that will attract college coaches and professional scouts to our event.  By opening up the borders to include players from both Carolinas and beyond against players from the Charlotte region, we will provide rosters loaded with potential collegiate baseball and softball players  at every level   The first two years we have welcomed over  40 college coaches and professional scouts to the underclass baseball games and by opening the event up to more players, we believe the 2011 games will attract even more coaches."

The 2011 Baseball event will be held June 12-15 at Winthrop University.  The 2011 Softball event will be held June 20-21 at a location to be announced very soon.

In addition to the four nights of baseball games and the two nights of softball games, a  showcase camp  will be held for both softball and baseball players.  The  showcase  will offer an additional opportunity for coaches to evaluate players during a pro-style workout.  

"The  showcase camps  are open to all baseball and softball players who would like to display their skills to college coaches  in a showcase style pro environment," said event Co-Founder Jeff Schaefer.   "The baseball  showcase  has been a huge success the last two years, attracting over 100 players and 30 coaches and pro scouts.  We are excited to add a softball  showcase this season and we are working closely with college softball coaches to deliver a quality skills  showcase ."

In order to be considered for a spot on any of the baseball or softball teams, a player needs to be nominated.  Nominations can come from anyone and the nomination form is located at www.battleofthebordershowcase.com   The nomination period is open until April 30th. Invitations will be extended the first week of May.
