History
2006 will start the 5th year of the Triple Crown Sparkler tournament. In 2005, 285 teams participated in 14U, 16U, and 18U. The goal in 2005 was to see 200 college coaches come to the tournament--over 200 came and most of those came looking for players and teams that had contacted them and had given them their schedule while in the Denver area. The college coaches are in the area--it is a matter of letting them know where and when you'll be playing and they will make all the effort to come see your specific player(s). A list of registered college coaches from the 2005 Sparkler can be found under the "forms" section of this website shortly.
