The Valley Invite marks another space and place where Triple Crown Sports assembles another high-value fastpitch event, one that draws talented clubs and a healthy number of college coaches with recruiting on their mind.
The 2019 version of the event (June 14-16) has right at 200 teams registered, with a five-game guarantee designed to keep athletes in motion throughout each day. BallerTV will be on hand to provide livestream coverage of all the action. One of the priorities at Triple Crown is to make sure all levels of the college game are represented in these showcase moments, so you’ll see representatives from schools like the University of Washington ranging to the passionate competitors in the JUCO and NAIA ranks. The focus from the college coaches launches at the start with College Camp Friday, June 14 at Hillsboro Stadium. Nearly 10 separate camps will be held, including one tailored to high-academic performers and another for unsigned 2019 and 2020 graduates who desire to play after high school. Throughout the day June 14 at Hillsboro Stadium, the NCSA Speed Combine will also be held. There’s no charge to go through the process, which will give athletes specific measurables they’ll use to make their case to college programs. Triple Crown’s new product designed to offer the cold, hard facts about an athlete’s ability, the TC Eval, will be held June 13, from 2-8 p.m. at the North Clackamas Sports Complex. Players work is small groups with a college coach, and a five-page report is generated that will break down the skill set and college potential of the player.
