In 1997 International Doorway hosted the first annual International Athletic Showcase and since that time we have helped thousands of international athletes find their university in the USA. The Showcase features international student athletes from over 40 countries and coaches representing universities from all across the United States meeting annually for the largest international athletic student recruitment event in the USA.

International Doorway's Showcase is a networking and multicultural learning opportunity; you will make friendships that last a lifetime while experiencing unforgettable sports competitions, academic, cultural and recreational activities. The added bonus is that our participants also get a true American cultural experience by living daily life on a university campus.

•  At the Athletic Showcase student-athletes ranging 16 to 26 years of age are recruited and receive scholarship offers.
   The Athletic Showcase features a number of sports including soccer, tennis, basketball and golf. 
  Male and female students obtain scholarships to begin or continue studies at recognized universities in the United States. 
   In addition, our coaches and medical staff accompany the group at all times during their time in the U.S. 
   Our program is a guaranteed success ensuring your opportunity to receive a globally recognized degree while playing your favorite sport and saving thousands of dollars.
