The second annual Blue & Gold Showcase, presented by Princess Auto, will be held at the East Side Eagles Football Club on Sunday, May 5th and feature four all-star teams of high school football players from across the province.
Over 200 players will participate in the U16 and U18 games on Sunday, and leading up to the Showcase games, the players took part in eight practices over the course of a two-week period.
Canadian and US colleges and universities will send coaches to the Showcase to scout the selected players. Last year’s Blue and Gold Showcase featured 10 athletes committed to playing in various USports programs this year.
“The Winnipeg Football Club is proud to host the Blue & Gold Showcase for the top football players in our province,” said Wade Miller, President and CEO of the Winnipeg Football Club. “Thank you to our Bomber players who have been out coaching as well as the high school football coaches that help develop these players’ skills.”
There is no charge to this program, reducing financial barriers to ensure the best talent from Manitoba is featured and players can demonstrate their abilities to potentially land scholarships with universities or colleges.
The showcase games are being held at the East Side Eagles Football Club on May 5 with the U16 teams playing at 1PM and the U18 teams at 4PM. There is a $10 entry to attend and watch the games. Tickets are available here.
