Seattle, WA – Due to impacts from recent hurricanes, the 2024 St. Pete Showcase DI Women’s
Basketball Tournament is being relocated to Tampa Preparatory School. A collaborative effort between
J5 Inc (event organizer), Tampa Prep (game site), The Skills Center (practice site), and Eckerd College,
contributed to hosting the event with no disruption to scheduled games.
“We are grateful for the support and hospitality from each of the partnering organizations. The Tampa
area values the women’s game. Even as they prepare to host their fourth Women’s Final Four in April 2025, the sports community opened their doors to help provide an elite-level experience for the student-
athletes and coaches,” said Susie Jarosch, Owner & CEO, J5 Inc.
“Having the opportunity to keep this event in our region was critically important. I am beyond excited for
the tournament to take place at Tampa Prep and The Skills Center, and I’m confident the community will
come support these teams.” – Dave LaMarre Jr.
“The Skills Center is always willing to work with our community and we jumped at the opportunity to
host practices at our facility. We look forward to our elementary and middle school girls having the
opportunity to watch these teams compete over Thanksgiving weekend.” – Janine Ward & John Arroyo
The tournament field includes teams from Florida, James Madison, Northern Arizona and Tulane.
