[quote=Anonymous][quote=FPYCparent][quote=Anonymous]Here is something for elite athletes ...[/quote]

As a proud GMU alum, City of Fairfax resident, and third-year club VB parent, I'll say this:

Don't expect [i]too much[/i] from this event.

First, that's the same weekend that most 15s/16s/17s will be in Philadelphia for NEQ (https://advancedeventsystems.com/events/37043).  I'm fairly certain that the colleges listed for the showcase will have representation in Philly.

Second, it's Easter Weekend (and the end of spring break for many).  It's already bad enough that NEQ falls on Easter.

Third, it still costs $300 for one day!

Now, if your player doesn't have anything else to do that weekend, feel free to consider it!  My club player has done a handful of camps/showcases at GMU and as a paying parent, I don't have any regrets.  I just don't want anyone to believe this event will be more substantial than going to an invite-only camp (where only elite athletes attend) or even a qualifier.

And for what it is worth, GMU claims that they've finished recruiting their 2026 class.  Again, as an alum, I am hard-pressed to believe that a sub-0.400 D1 school has "finished" recruiting a class that won't complete high school for another 15 months.  My kid heard something similar from Temple for her position.  VCU currently lists six sophomores and no freshmen on their roster, so maybe they are looking for players.[/quote]

Very odd weekend. I know nothing about that event but it seems like a complete money grab.  I’m not paying $300 for one day.  As you said, my U14 also unfortunately has a qualifier tournament also that weekend and it’s Easter.  [/quote]
