What Is the 6-8 College Showcase Series?
Weekend showcases where athletes are tested, play scrimmages and are seen by college coaches from 45+ NCAA programs.
The 6-8 College Series is a set of weekend showcase events in the US and around the world. Athletes complete skill assessments, compete in high-level scrimmages and gain exposure to US college coaches. It was built by Olympic champions Maggie Steffens (#6) and Tony Azevedo (#8).
Every event follows four steps:
- Assess: take the 6-8 Challenge on day one to set your baseline.
- Compete: teams are made from the assessment results and player position. Scrimmages are scored with the 6-8 Game Desk.
- Analyze: every athlete gets a +/- Performance Indicator across all events.
- Connect: coaches from 45+ NCAA programs attend the showcases.
