marketing. sure. but facts matter. I am sorry you are bigly mad. My daughter's team yesterday had 126 college coaches at their game. don't care what you ga's say.

Who a photo. Pick a number that is believable. What team is your DD on that would justify 126 college coaches at a game. A field is 120 yards long. about 35 of those yards are used by the team bench area, center tent, official, etc area. That leaves 85 yards for 126 coaches. Even at 2' space they would have to be lined up on top of each other. No college coach is sitting on the parent side, so don't use that excuse.

I'm sure there were a lot of coaches - but 126 ... come on. Your DD has to have 18 P4 players it sounds like.

Someone is clueless... We had 150ish coaches at one of our games this weekend, they stack behind each other, on the end lines, and even on the parent's side of the field. Also, most coaches are moving between games frequently so there is a changeover of coaches constantly during the game, but mostly during halftime. We have parents that walk the sidelines during the game handing out flyers and writing down the school and coach name that is in attendance. Its common at this level to have that many at a game.

126 at one game! Wow! Did you count them all or did they count themselves out-loud! Sounds like every kid on both teams should have their pick of at least 5 college each!

Yes, when we pass out flyers we record the coaches name and school.

You’ve obviously never been to a VDA 2008/2009/2010 ECNL event over the last couple of years but those teams typically pull in 100+ coaches each day for the first two days of an ECNL event. I’m sorry you have FOMO.

And It’s not 120 at once, there usually is at turnover at halftime.

Comfirmed. VDA not ARL.

100+ is really not unreasonable for an ECNL level event. My DD 2009 RL team had 65 coaches at their game Friday at the ECRL showcase in Winston-Salem. 2010 team had 40+.

And yes they are all not there at the same time; they rotate through; very few watch an entire game. And yes, parent hands out flyers and gets a business card or contact info from each coach (that is how you track the number and who came).

We're U12 now, so no it seems like inflated numbers. But, you sound more legitimate...so, that is a huge showing! Good luck to your DD!

typical of ga. they are barely surviving. not enough teams registered so they have to keep redoing the schedule. begging teams to come with discounts. but with the terrible fields, they should just close a few down. the fields right now are in terrible shape.

Playoffs are not a registered event - only so many teams make playoffs. this is not a showcase. nobody is registering for playoffs.

As far as brackets, is the season over yet? We just had 2 teams from our conference punch their tickets this past weekend.

Norco vs Missouri or IMG vs Missouri or NC vs Missouri? Which terrible fields do you speak of? Asking g for a friend

Fields in NC were great last weekend. I've never considered Norco fields as being nice.

100+ is good if DD can play. But if DD is not there yet ( a there are plenty) and plays in front of 100+ coaches, then it is a non event.

The scouts aren't there to watch random kids. I hope you all understand this! I'm sure there's that diamond in the rough they discover, but they're watching specific people.

100% true. IMYS made a very biased post the other week. I'm in ECNL, but there is no way that account is league neutral. IMYS should be IMECNLS, then it would be fine.

if your kid plays for an ecnl team when she is at U15, the amount of coaches will steadily increase and you will see. by u16, for thiis upcoming season with the new age changes, the sophomores will be getting a lot of coaches cause that summer between soph/junior is when d1 coaches can talk to them and offer scholarships. but a lot depends on how many of the kids are emailing the coaches to come to their game (showing interest) and how many coaches come because of the reputation of the club/coach/team to produce ballers.

That is not a reputable verified source. A lot of that info is made up.
