[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pay attention at any college showcase.  The strong teams are lined with scouts.  The weaker ones hardly have 4 or 5.  And yes, I have older children, I've been.  That's how it works.  Anyone who tells you anything else is just selling you.  They aren't being honest. [/quote]

Well of course strong teams are lined with coaches because strong teams have more overall talented players. But being a talented player on a "bad" DA or ECNL team is not a death sentence either. Again, they are there to watch a player not a team. [/quote]

It makes the process incredibly harder.  And it's also harder to show well. [/quote]

It is harder if you are playing bad teams. It has nothing to with your teammates. It’s the level of competition you are playing against.[/quote]

I think you meant "with" .  It is harder if you are playing on a bad team.  It is because of your teammates.  It's the level of competition you are playing with to try and compete against quality teams.  Even a good idea dies quickly and the player is unable to get any reasonably decent play off the ground.  It descends into chaos and ball chasing.  [/quote]

No I said the complete opposite. Level of Competition. It is much more impressive if your DD plays well against PDA than Spirit VA for example.[/quote]

That's where we disagree then.  If your DD plays on Spirit VA against PDA, she will never receive a good ball she can look good with, she will never be able to have a decent play show up because of the level of the team, and if a scout comes, it is to watch PDA, not Spirit VA.

But hey, do whatever makes you feel good.  And players on lower teams are there because they can't make better teams.  No one deliberately chooses a team with no talent, as that also lowers the level the poor player trains with - which in the end is critical.  If you train with low quality, then a player isn't being challenged in practice, no matter who she plays against.  [/quote]

You are mixing up what I am saying. I never said anything about playing on Spirit. Forget it. Keep preaching, you have more time for this than I do.[/quote]

Sure, sorry to have upset you.  I have older kids playing in college, so I'm sharing with the thread based on what I saw happen with older players and their teammates.

Best of luck to your DD. [/quote]
