GUEST PLAYER LISTINGS FOR THE COLLEGE SHOWCASE

Players interested in attending but not supported by a team can post a request to guest at the Showcase. Teams seeking to fill a need can contact players listed. Typically, we place about 8-12 players per Showcase. Tournaments vary more. Note that we do not place players with teams. We post info on players who want to guest and we post accepted teams, and let players and teams make their own connections.

PLAYERS GETTING LISTED AS A GUEST

The Showcase solely uses the GotSoccer.com Registration software to list guest players.

Use the Player Account you may already have on GotSoccer.com, or create one. The Player’s critical information needs to be entered in "MY PROFILE", under "VIEW & EDIT" in the Grey Bar.

In the PLAYER tab, fill out “Player Information”. Use the NOTES text box to provide detailed information about what type of player you are, your awards and achievements, your teams and competitions, etc. The NOTES box is the primary place to differentiate yourself from other guest applications. It will accommodate well over 600 characters, so there is ample opportunity to provide important info about yourself. It is also helpful to upload a recent photo of yourself on this page.

In the COLLEGE RECRUITING tab, the “Player Information” section entries will appear on the Guest Player listings.

Once your Player Account is properly set up, then:

· Log on to GotSoccer.com as a Player or as a Parent. (You can click on the button in the Guest Player section on the Showcase Homepage.)

· Players under 15 years of age need parental approval to be listed.

· In the Navy bar, click on TOURNAMENTS

· Once you see Upcoming Tournaments, scroll to the appropriate dates in the DATE RANGE

and click GO.

· Scroll down to the MSSL or MAPS Showcase or Tournament you are interested in participating.

· Click on the "Apply as Guest Player" Button.

· On the next screen, click "Submit Application".

TEAMS SEEKING GUEST PLAYERS

NOTE TO TEAMS:  Do consider hosting a guest at a Showcase. Many of the players listed are attractive recruits, and can help draw attention from college coaches to your team's games. Especially if you will have missing or injured players; short-handed teams do not show well.  We also may be flexible regarding team age groups guesting a player in a Showcase event. Feel free to inquire!
