Whether your athlete is an uncommitted senior, a rising sophomore, or a talented freshman, attending a Florida Shine Classic showcase can provide the exposure and insight needed to take the next step. Here’s how each grade level can benefit:

Class of 2025 (Seniors) – The Final Push

    •    Uncommitted seniors: These showcases provide a last-chance opportunity to find a home at a prep school, junior college, or four-year university.

    •    Committed seniors: This is a prime chance to be evaluated by professional scouts and prepare for the next level.

    •    Learn how to market yourself on social media to attract potential endorsements and NIL opportunities.

Class of 2026 (Juniors) – The Summer That Matters Most

    •    This is a critical year for recruitment—college coaches are actively searching for talent.

    •    If you’re already on a school’s radar, this is a chance to stay there. If not, this is where you get noticed.

    •    Attending a showcase as a junior helps you narrow down potential schools and build relationships with recruiters.

Class of 2027 (Sophomores) – Elevate Your Exposure

    •    By sophomore year, many players have already established themselves as top talent in their region or State.

    •    Attending a showcase can elevate your exposure to college coaches and area scouts, making you a potential future draft prospect.

    •    Get insight into which schools are the right fit for your academic and athletic goals.

Class of 2028 & 2029 (Freshmen & Incoming Freshmen) – Get a Head Start

    •    While college coaches may not actively recruit freshmen, they are always looking for potential stars.

    •    Attending early showcases allows younger players to learn what they need to improve before recruitment begins.
