With Main Stage established as the premier recruiting event of the summer and Spotlight serving as the top recruiting event of the fall, the question became simple: how do we identify and prepare the next wave of elite talent before those recruiting windows open?

Introducing The Audition, a two-day, invite-only experience designed exclusively for the top players in the 2031 and 2032 classes.

Throughout the weekend, athletes will train hands-on with elite college coaches, focusing on advanced skill development, position-specific instruction, and the high-level concepts taught at the next level. Players will be challenged in a showcase-style environment, gaining comfort competing under the same structure and expectations they’ll face during their future recruiting summers and falls.

With a limited number of spots available, The Audition is intentionally boutique, allowing for meaningful instruction, evaluation, and early relationship-building with the coaches who will follow these athletes throughout their recruiting journey. Competing alongside the best players in the country, participants will also put themselves on the ML8 staff’s radar as a direct precursor to both Main Stage and Spotlight when the time comes.

Do you have what it takes to earn your place at one of the most exclusive, invite-only events of the year?
