[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP I don’t think the other poster suggested AS was clearing $2M. Revenue is revenue. Profit is profit. Either way the event generates a lot of money and others make a lot off this single event.

I agree everyone does this event for their own reasons. Having had my DD participate in these events it is a little troubling to have the one poster continually stress the “last chance” angle of the event. It comes across as very salesy.[/quote]

I see … When you try to dissuade people from attending AS for your own personal or financial reasons, having never attended the event yourself, your motivation is pure.

When I give a personal account of our experience, and explain how it was helpful to my DD in her recruiting process, and that I have no connection whatsoever to the event, it’s somehow a sales job.

Got it[/quote]

Glad you finally get it. Clearly reading comprehension isn’t your thing. The poster stated her DD did participate in the event and that everyone has their reason for choosing to do so. This person simply noted the salesy nature of your post. Why are you so bent on selling AS to people? Do you have snake oil also?

I thought another poster did a nice job laying out the financial facts of the event. There is not right or wrong answer of participation based on these numbers. Do you have facts to support your position that AS is so critical to recruitment? Is there anything to suggest the “last chance” you reference pays dividends for most players? Your position is too pushy. Attacking others who have participated in the event by saying they haven’t doesn’t help either. We are interested in everyone’s experience.

You’ve noted your position, so move on. We don’t need any more messages about your DD needing a last chance.[/quote]

Congratulations to all the players who tried out and made the AS teams.

Your hard work earned you a spot on those teams.

My DD had a great experience at AS playing with some of the best lax players in the area.

If it’s your recruiting year, the nation’s best coaches will all be represented there.

Most importantly: HAVE FUN!!

Best of luck to you all. [/quote]

Does anyone know if or when the AS rosters
will be posted?[/quote]

Last year it wasn't until mid-June after all regions have had tryouts.[/quote]
