[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't buy into this post. Copa Talento and tournaments like these are just a cash grab. Sure maybe the level of players is decent but nothing is happening at these events[/quote]

What do you mean by nothing is happening?
You expect a half-time show by Taylor Swift?[/quote]

I think the poster is referring to all of the hype on the scouting at Copa Talento. All of the personal trainers and Instagram coaches that put teams together tell all the parents that it is really great exposure to scouts.[/quote]

There are scouts there. It’s true. It’s a handful, and like a PP mentioned, focused on Latino / Hispanic players. The scouts are from two buckets; academy and college.

For the vast majority of the kids, the benefit is good quality touches in a different and festive tournie environment.

Did those scouts check out the u-littles? Yes! Were the u-littles the focus? No! And good new folks, the intagram families sort of disappear after u-little when their kids underperform the billing (not the kids fault, it’s their parents overselling) - so the “exposure” focus those academy / instagram coaches claim has some truth to it, but not much value behind it.[/quote]
