Welcome to the Paramount Scouting Bureau and your opportunity to showcase your talent in front of professional scouts and college coaches.  The Paramount Scouting Bureau is looking for the very best players across the country.  There are numerous outstanding athletes who are not getting noticed, and we want to give you a chance to be seen by the college and professional scouts.  Paramount Scouting Bureau showcases give you a chance to demonstrate your talents while seeing how you compare to other players your age. The Paramount Scouting Bureau also gives college coaches a chance to stay ahead in the recruiting game by providing opportunities for coaches to see your talent or receive information about you.

     The Paramount Scouting Bureau holds evaluation events to provide athletes with a professional evaluation of their talents, then promotes athletes to college and professional organizations throughout North America and overseas. National Scouting Report, America's premier scouting service for college coaches and high school athletes since launching the industry in 1980, will promote the showcases and send the results from each showcase to every college coach in the country.  Currently, the Paramount Scouting Bureau stages baseball and softball showcases, and a girls basketball showcase and tournament.

High school baseball players from across the United States can showcase their skills in an attempt to reach the Paramount National Baseball Showcase, August 16, 2008, in Birmingham, Alabama.  The game will be played at Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama, the oldest baseball stadium in the United States. Modeled after Forbes Field in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Rickwood Field has hosted many of the greatest baseball players to ever play the game. It is the field where Birmingham native Willie Mays, as a 16-year-old high school junior, played his first professional game as the starting centerfielder for the 1948 championship Black Barons of the Negro Leagues.

High school softball players from across the United States also may showcase their skills in an attempt to reach the Paramount National Softball Showcase, October 24, 2008, in Alabaster, Alabama.  The showcase will precede the National Scouting Report College Exposure Showcase Tournament October 25-26, 2008.  Both events will be held at Veterans Park in Alabaster, Alabama.  Girls invited to the showcase also will form teams and play in the tournament.
