Coach Houser Bio What Others Say Archives


This bunch of incredible people won 10 sets and lost 7 sets over the two days.....and were only beaten by three 16's teams that EACH advanced all the way to the final 8 of the 90-team tournament!!

Shamrock Festival Volleyball Tournament

The team started out 16th, but ended up in 9th.
What an incredible accomplishment for a 15's team.
Our record this season vs. 16's teams: 31-7. Amazing!
And we have SO much left to do.

2015 Showcase During Shamrock!

The Shamrock Festival hosts an annual Shamrock Recruiting Showcase on the Friday night before the tournament starts on nine courts at the Roanoke Civic Center. Our Showcase provides an opportunity for college coaches to see as many athletes as possible in one location.

The format will consist of individual skill/drill work with an emphasis on team drills and lots of controlled PLAY as facilitated by individual court coaches who will help keep everything on schedule. We want the college coaches to be able to see the players play as much as possible as that is the feedback the coaches have provided to us about this recruiting event. Each college coach in attendance on Friday night receives a free recruiting guide (both electronically and in paper form) with all the individual player information you input online when you register.

This recruiting showcase is open to all volleyball players, so your team does not even have to be competing in the Shamrock Festival in order for you to participate in the showcase. There will be two sessions: Session One is from 5:30-7:15pm and Session Two is from 7:45-9:30pm. We will send e-mail invitations to over 300 college coaches but we also encourage you to invite college coaches to attend if you want them to see you at the Showcase and/or throughout the weekend. All college coaches who register with us in advance will receive free Recruiting Guides and free Tournament Programs when they arrive at the Roanoke Civic Center.


Now a note from Coach Houser: 

Going to a showcase this small isn't something I recommend to freshmen.  Sophomores, maybe.  Why?  There are usually almost no college coaches watching freshmen, and very few watching sophs.  Most coaches in attendance at this showcase will be D3 coaches who are looking at helping their teams next fall.
 


 


2015 Tournament Format:

This is the 15/16's schedule at Shamrock: 

* A 3-team pool at 11am on Saturday. 
* Another 3-team pool starting 5pm on Saturday.
* A 3-team pool starting 8am Sunday. 
* Playoffs begin at approximately noon on Sunday.

 


 

The 2015 Food/Drink Policy
Some sites have very strict food/drink policies while others may be more lenient. Please be respectful of tournament staff who will provide further instructions at each site. Specifically, the Roanoke Civic Center, Spectrum Sports Academy, and Patrick Henry HS will NOT allow any outside food/drink in the building with the exception of water bottles for players.
* The RCC will be searching bags/purses to enforce this policy upon entrance and there is a separate entrance for players to speed up their entry. Concessions are sold onsite so don't try to sneak in your morning coffee or fast food lunch. :) Also, no chairs are permitted inside Patrick Henry HS but bleachers are provided.

 

2015 Check in For Teams:

6:00-10:30 - Team Check-In. All teams must bring a completed Team Check-In Form on Friday evening so tournament staff has contact info and hotel info for each team. Click HERE to download the form. If you are unable to bring this form on Friday, please e-mail it to director@shamrockfestival.org or fax it to 540-772-6874 before Friday. This is the only form we need so no need to provide signed roster sheets or anything else. All coaches who check-in on Friday evening in person will receive a coach’s gift too.
