On June 12, The St. Catharines Standard recapped the Niagara College Soccer Showcase which took place at the Welland Campus on Tuesday, June 11, drawing 80 of Niagara’s best high school soccer players from 22 schools for a chance to show off their skills.
NC’s head soccer coach Frank DeChellis comments on the sixth annual event, saying “This event continues to strengthen our relationship with the Niagara high school soccer scene.”
Women’s soccer head coach Rob Lalama is also quoted in the piece, giving credit to the “calibre and skill of the players” which he says “keeps improving, and the selection process is more difficult because the talent pool keeps improving.”
The first showcase took place in 2014 and was started by Knights assistant coach Rino Berardi.
New this year, NC students in the Event Management program assisted with the planning and logistics for the day.
