[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please name the current college coaches that were evaluating…..And if your going to tell me that there were former college coaches evaluating, then AS should state that upfront.  [/quote]

So many elements of youth sports are “money grabs”. You have to determine which ones are beneficial. With the girls’ side adding so many “elite showcases” it dilutes the pool of talent at any given one. With club affiliations it skews the results. With others that are “selected” without actual tryouts, there are always some questionable selections due to geographical representation and club connections. And on the girls’ side during the recruiting years prospect days and top tournaments are the best options. You can’t do it all so figure out what makes sense and try not to burn your kid out. Let them determine what makes the most sense based on what you offer up as options that work with your/their schedule and what’s affordable because the fees and travel quickly adds up. I cannot imagine what some of the families of kids in less well known lacrosse areas spend—you see these kids playing on MD/NY teams and flying all over for training. All of these things are part of what makes some youth sports like lacrosse not as accessible to all.[/quote]

Not saying it is the end all, be all, but last year most 23 games had 15-20 coaches in attendance over the first two days. (many coaches left for 3rd day to go to under armour).

As for the value for younger girls, its a chance to get some good film and play against quality talent.[/quote]
