NWBest Showcase

Started in 2014, NWBest is the first showcase event in the northwest. Run in conjunction with BC's Best in Victoria, BC, NWBest hosts between 15 to 20 NCAA Division 1, 2, and 3-level coaches annually to the greater Seattle area.

NCAA coaches are always looking to recruit the best student-athletes who fit their culture and vision. NWBest is another touchpoint for your player and college coaches throughout the recruiting journey.

Tournaments have thousands of players and multiple fields and locations. There is no guarantee your player will be seen and play in front of a certain coach.

Tournaments provide information about a player from one perspective. This showcase will help define the skill set, personality, and other intangibles. There are many good lacrosse players, but being good alone does not meet a coach's recruiting needs.

Will you be the next diamond in the rough, the next NWBest?
