Where can you see which players were already selected?

They announced the first wave of selections on Instagram earlier this week. The account is robinsonsportsinc

Not many Cap 27's. This event has lost ground to many of the other events that have emerged and become more popular.

Parents whose kids were selected will say that the selection process is great and hands down the right kids were selected. Parents of kids who were not selected will question the selection process. Parents whose kids perform well at the event will tell you how great the event is. Parents whose kids get on a bad team or don’t perform well will tell you that the event isn’t worth going to. These events are all built around making money and making families feel like they are a necessary part of the recruiting process. The fact that they keep expanding the age levels shows they have gotten the families to buy into that idea.

My kid was selected and we attended. The top 50 kids were really good, lots of talent, but the back 50, they were not very good. Teams were all over the place as they were randomly assigned. Girls from clubs that never played against a top 50 ranked club before.

Part of the problem was, they wouldn't take more than 5 kids from the same club, which in reality, you could have 15 deserving kids on a top-20 club team be better than the best player on a 100th ranked team. To their credit, they wanted to diversify the selections regionally.

Not true at all. M&D and Skywalkers each had double digit kids at both age groups.

Its a Robinson sports event, of course M&D is going to be represented there, including their Red and Shore players.

With UA150 going younger than ever (now have rising freshman), I think this is filling the void left by Athletes Unlimited when they had younger grad years.

Juniors Open has overtaken this event now, although if you are DC/MD UA150 is so much easier than New Jersey where Juniors is.

When did UA start having 8th graders for this event?

I think JO is second to BIC at this point.

This is the first time. $$$ and no doubt there will be a wait list for the 8th grade teams...

JO is great but they seem to really favor NY/NJ girls, especially LIYJ. The event overlaps with UA150 so girls have to choose one or the other. Sometimes local teams have practices those days that girls can’t miss (no excused absences) so the proximity of UA150 is helpful since you can drive back and forth in a day, even if it’s not as competitive as JO.

Skip JO to do UA150 for film/highlight and one or two of these events: IDX, BIC, The Player Series, E12, The LINEUP, or a Lacrosse Masters if player wants high academic. Also, attend fall/winter school-specific prospect camps. Make sure you are targeting schools in your reach. Reach to high or be a bit delusional on how desirable your player is you won’t have offers on 9/1. Again grades make or break a cusp player too.

Players Series and E12 are a waste and pretty much a cattle call.

Almost 1/3 of each roster are M&D players….Robinson Sports bias much?

6/35 M&D in 2027
6/27 M&D in 2028
No idea about 2029

More than other clubs but “almost 1/3” is a stretch

This is exactly why you want it, UA150: all those coaches are also looking at the M&D players. If your players match up against them and perform well, they will catch the eye of the college coaches. it also also makes for great highlight video! Do UA150 for the highlight film content! Your welcome!
