Gateway Showcase 2024

Gateway Showcase Teams,

On behalf of Kings Hammer SBD, we would like to welcome you to Cincinnati for the 2024 Women’s Gateway Showcase. We are looking forward to a fun and competitive weekend of soccer!

The Gateway Showcase is designed to provide “early season” opportunities for potential college-bound athletes to display their talents in front of college coaches. Our goal is to create a high-quality competitive event for teams to compete early in the season. The Gateway Showcase traditionally attracts more than 350 teams and over 150 college coaches over the two weekends. Kings Hammer SBD welcomes teams from across the country and internationally to compete in the Gateway Showcase.

The Warren Co Sports Park will host four turf fields and Voice of America will have two turf fields. Additional local turf facilities will also be used to ensure all games are played on the best surface possible.

In this guide, you will find all the information you need for this year’s event including links to schedules, facility maps, and local area attractions to visit while you are in town. Please take a moment to look through the guide. We also ask that you forward this link to all of your players and families, so they have this information for the weekend. The link is mobile friendly as well so they can pull it up on their phone and refer to it throughout the event.

Thank you for choosing the Women’s Gateway Showcase! We are excited about the great competition this year and look forward to hosting your team in Cincinnati!
