[quote=Anonymous]It's all about the money for any select team like UA/As, futures elite, etc..  Even specific college camps, it's all about the money.  Yes, I do agree that these types of events can be fun and competitive if the player and parent come into the event with that in mind.  BUT- just my thoughts- most parents and or players DO NOT come into these events with that mindset.  It's all about trying to be seen, make an impression and get recruited and potentially get some money (which a lot of parents think is going to happen).  Doesn't matter if it's a camp or select team, ITS A BUSINESS, plain and simple, and all of these events are in it to make money, otherwise, there would be no charge.  This is reality not fantasy.  
Lots of parents are starting to see right through these select teams as you don't need this to be recruited at all.  Sure it looks good on a players lax resume and yes, it's another chance to get in front of coaches, but it is not END BE ALL for recruiting.  And Yes, I do agree that more and more DC area private school coaches are bragging on social media that they have xx amount of players in these showcase events.  I don't think its right, but again, there is reality and fantasy with this as well.  Most HS coaches around the DC area use this to pump up themselves and their coaching ability, but also use this tactic as well to bring in new players.  I see it both ways.  
Again, just my thoughts[/quote]
