It's that time! The time to get the year off and rolling but this year promises to be our best ever. Following our weekend at the DFW Coaches Clinic, we have solidified our Dallas/Fort Worth Showcase and we have started the ball rolling for a East/West Showcase in Little Rock, Arkansas, and we are working on an Oklahoma Showcase as well.

NAAS set a booth display at the Coaches Clinic, which features only high school coaches as speakers. The traffic that passed our booth was amazing and caught the eye of many coaches and sponsors. Several coaches stated that they would like for us to orchestrate a showcase in their area and many sponsors, to be named later, have committed to support the Dallas game as well as Oklahoma and Arkansas.

"We are excited about having the opportunity to expand", states Rob Abernathie, one of four Executive Directors of North American All Stars. "When it's about the kids, everyone wins".

After a two year hiatus, North American All Stars is proud to announce that we have restructured our organization to afford athletes the opportunity to market themselves in an All Star Football Showcase without having to pay to play!

Coach Rusty Bentley, Chief Operations Officer and Associate Athletic Director states that, “These kids have been paying for twelve years and now it is time to find a way to help them help themselves. The 2011 North Texas Showcase will be benevolently funded and we will find a way through sponsorships and program advertising to absorb and extend operation costs”.

In the past, these types of all star games have cost athletes reportedly up to $1000 to participate. That is no longer the case. “We feel that there are many Super Star games that cover kids’ cost so why can’t there be an All Star game that does so as well?” said Bentley.

The first game will be between athletes from Dallas and surrounding areas playing athletes from Fort Worth and surrounding areas on June 25, 2011 in Arlington, Texas, at The University of Texas at Arlington Maverick Stadium.

There exists plans to extend to San Antonio, Houston, or Austin next year and extend outside of Texas with two additional cities across the country each year after that. Bentley says, “We are currently talking with coaches in Atlanta to add a showcase there next year . I am excited for what we have to offer for the kids; however, as excited as I am, my board members are constantly telling me to ‘Walk before you run’!”
