[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is a hole that sports businesses try to trick you into throwing money down to feed your inflated view of your kids athletic abilities.[/quote]

Let's be a little more accurate. There are some ID Soccer camps run by Nike etc that are a money grab, and unlikely to provide the players interested with an advantage. Some colleges have ID camps - that are truly a "try-out" and there are soccer showcases as others have noted that really do bring together soccer coaches and potential players. Obviously, families can decide how they want to spend their time and money but if you a have player that is interested in what might be available at the next level the showcases can be helpful. We found they could give a broad view of many colleges, while the college ID camps at specific schools of interest were the best way to really get to know the coaching staff, and get the exposure to a program. Its not just about an inflated view of your kids abilities, from our experience its about kids enjoying the sport and they don't want to stop playing. Perhaps they won't be the next Messi, but they aren't ready to give up their cleats.   [/quote]
