Showcase is about exposure. Rock Solid picks events college coaches attend, builds every player’s recruiting profile, and works to find each player a school where he’ll get a fair chance to play.

Events & exposure
Fewer events. Better ones.
Two or three well-chosen events a year do more for a recruit than a crowded calendar. Every event on a Rock Solid schedule is picked for its atmosphere, safety, competition, and the coaches in the stands.

Prospect profile
When should we start the recruiting process?
Freshman year is for building skills and a baseline. The summer after sophomore year is the main Division I window, so the plan should be in place before then.
Do you guarantee a college offer?
No program can. We work to get every player in front of the right coaches and to find a school where he’ll get a fair chance to play.
Can players from outside Wilmington join?
Yes. Rock Solid welcomes players from across North Carolina and the surrounding states, and holds individual tryouts at Coastal Athletics.
Do academics matter?
Yes. Grades and test scores decide admission and scholarship money, which is why Rock Solid players get [$100 off] SAT prep at Coastal Athletics.
