As the replacement for the cancelled 2021 Australian Youth Championship, the National Showcase Series – Victoria will consist of a local showcase and underage tournament to ensure athletes still receive extensive high performance and development opportunities as well as exposure to college and professional scouts.
The local showcase will be used for data collection and scouting purposes followed by a seven-game tournament between two teams in both the Under 16 and Under 18 age brackets.
T-shirts, uniforms, caps and water bottles will be provided as part of the showcase. The approximate estimated cost at this stage for the showcase will be between $300 and $400, with payment after try outs.:
