A showcase that began five years ago by Owner/Trainer Mike McCarthy and his staff. The event’s mission purpose is to showcase and provide a stage for New England’s top Qb’s they train, and those who want to learn more about the qb position training they provide to recruits on a yearly basis.
The event continues to grow each year with additional high-profile qb’s receivers and defensive back recruits coupled with many all-level college coaches that attend. This year, the 2023 showcase was no disappointment and is surely on track to be a annual premier showcase that many New England recruits and national college coaches from all levels will want to attend next year. The showcase allows wide receivers and defensive backs to showcase their athletic abilities in a very controlled and safe environment with plenty of opportunity for reps. The staff recognizes top athlete performers and hands out Awards & MVP on the last day. This includes observation of these athletes during both days. Top Performers and MVP will be featured in another report coming soon.
