[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Crickets on here about ARL Showcase. Weather turned out to be not as bad as feared. It was cold, but mostly sunny both days and almost no wind. My kid’s team got in two highly competitive matches against MLSNext clubs and we didn’t have to fly to Florida. [/quote]

Sure, you can get competitive matches without having to travel so far, but did you see the list of coaches for the Florida ECNL event?  I think that is the difference and why teams go.

The list of coaches means nothing.  Did your kid contact any of these coaches before hand and create a relationship so the coach would come out and see him? Do you think coaches just show up and watch a game and look for kids to stand out? It doesn't happen that way. or at least it's very very rare. So let's say 5 coaches attended Arlington Showcase and your kid contacted one of them and that coach came out to see him.  That is 100x better than going to Florida just to play in front of coaches not focused on your kid. Now if your kid is a superstar and contacted 20 of the coaches going to FL, then yes, FL would have been a better showcase.[/quote]
