The 2019 Nike Girls Philly Showcase takes place this Saturday, November 16th, 2019 at United Sports in Downingtown, PA.

The Nike Girls Philly Showcase's exciting and unique format allows each girl the opportunity to play with new players from all over the country and to be coached by NCAA Coaches. The event is open to any and all girls who are in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 grad years. 

Players compete throughout the day for their chance to secure a spot on the elite All-Star team where they'll be awarded a Nike prize pack covered by the cost of attendance and the opportunity to go head-to-head against the nation's top competition.

Featured below are a few players that Girls Events Director, Danielle Kirk. says to keep an eye on throughout this one-day event.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever heard: Best advice I've heard is that most 23-year-olds don't have their life figured out and they get stuck because they spend money on stupid things to impress people, and if you stay focused in life and wise with money you should do just fine.

If you could spend the day with any celebrity, who would it be: Adam Sandler.
