Thanksgiving showcase week
Train together. Step onto a global stage.
Hosted by Brooke House College UK, the International Showcase connects student-athletes from our Florida campuses with Brooke House students from around the world. The week combines guest coaching, training alongside UK counterparts and a Friday match platform.
Players experience a new football environment while sharing the same Brooke House identity. Monday through Thursday is about preparation and learning. Friday gives them the opportunity to put that work into competitive games in front of scouts and recruiters. Attendance and evaluation do not guarantee selection, a college offer or a professional contract.
