VTO Sports hosted their Elite 100 showcase at Paragon Star Sports Complex in Kansas City, MO, on Sunday, February 25. The event had players registered from mainly Missouri and a few other states represented to participate. Each player got quality teaching and techniques from former college/NFL players. The highlight of the event is the one-on-one competitions where the players can show off their talents.
VTO Sports recognizes a Top 5 and a MVP in each position. They also select special underclassmen as well. Those players get invites to the All-American Challenge to be held June 28-30 in Charlotte, NC. Location is to be determined.
Coach Vince Jacobs, National Camp Director:
"It was the first time we hosted a camp in Kansas City. We were excited and ready to see the local athletes come compete. It was a beautiful sunny day at the Paragon Sports Complex. Some of the top highlights for me came from the offensive and defensive line groups. The athletes worked really hard and showed up in Kansas City. We also had a good group of Middle School athletes. I’m looking forward to getting back to Kansas City."
