The 2026 Red & White Rising Showcase is taking place at the Toronto Rock Athletic Centre on June 29 & 30. Whether you’re competing, coaching or cheering from the stands, here’s everything you need to know for this year’s highly anticipated return of Red & White Rising.

PLAYER CHECK-INS

Check-ins take place at the front desk immediately upon entering the TRAC. Players will receive a Red & White Rising pinnie. Do not trade your pinnie with another player. Your pinnie number is how collegiate coaches will ID you during gameplay, and how staff will ID you during the player combine. Please wear black shorts if possible. See division check-in times below. Please arrive and check-in to provide yourself enough time to be ready for your Player Combine start time.

28/29 Division: 12:15-2:30pm
30/31 Division: 2:45-4:00pm

COLLEGE COACH CHECK-INS

Coaches can check-in at the TRAC’s front desk or head straight to the building’s Meeting Room A, which is located upstairs towards the west side of the facility (overlooking the outdoor turf). An event package will be waiting for them there, including player lists with pinnie numbers to ID competitors. Click here to see this year’s attending coaches.

PLAYER COMBINE

The 2025 Red & White Rising Showcase Player Combine Presented by the Toronto Rock Sports Medicine & Wellness Centre and VALD Performance will take place on June 29. The 2025 RWR Player Combine will take place inside the TRAC on the red turf side. The combine will feature the following stations:

• 40-yard sprint
• Pro-agility test
• Vertical jump
• Isometric mid-thigh pull

Toronto Rock Sports Medicine & Wellness Centre staff will be on site and tracking player’s individual results. Results from the combine will be shared with attending college coaches, and will also be emailed to player/parent email address used during registration. Please do not skip your group’s combine time or attend another group’s combine time. Wear your RWR pinnie during the combine, as that is how staff will ID you when you arrive and at each of the four stations. Wear the same running shoes you would typically wear on the TRAC’s indoor turf (no cleats).
