Appears to be a private affair. What age groups were invited?

Anybody willing to pay.

I think VDA had 3 selected, but they couldn’t attend. Very high level with well connected coaches. I saw something about college players getting invites too.

This seems to be similar to certain connected players getting private invites to train with NWSL clubs.

Connected or high performing/high potential?

Those 3 are the best players in the area in their birth year.

Pay to play garbage. Pro sports is more about entertainment than sport. It’s the gladiator of modern times.

VRSC and NVA watching from the fence with puppy faces, wondering “how do they do it?”

Pretty great opportunity for these young women. Thank you for chiming in to crap on them!

Women’s soccer is hardly gladiator-like.

I think it was a great opportunity for the younger girls - great competition. A chance for the teams to get an idea of who the younger players are (though most are known).

That said, I heard the best college players aren't attending the college combine this week. The top players are already well known and don't need to attend this event - some are signed and others are in active communication w teams.

This makes a lot of sense. The NWSL got rid of the draft.

Did people have to pay to attend ? Why did someone say pay to play?

Probably because youth leagues are pay to play. There was no cost to players attending.
