[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe IMYS Guy is focusing too much on showcases ... Look what's happening in Michigan, for example, more at a regional level ... This is a MI Jaguars coach (GA/MLSN) who recently took a job to start soccer a women's program at Wayne State University (D2) ... https://www.youtube.com/shorts/-gHw5WdnpmA[/quote]

I listened to the podcast and thought it was pretty interesting.  Attendance at a regional showcase seemed to be pretty solid.  I know some of the VA clubs have their own showcase events, but they are much smaller scale than what happened in MI.  I think events like Jeff Cup though are still drawing coaches to their games and it's a chance for GA/ECNL clubs to play another rather being in their own closed systems.  That's part of the draw, IMO.[/quote]

Yes, this makes sense. College coaches have only so much bandwidth. Maybe some are reprioritizing away from national showcases (ECNL numbers for coaches aren't what they were it seems as well). It all argues for the return to a more integrated pyramid vs. multiple closed leagues.

Personally, I wish tournaments with champions/competition for something would make more of a comeback beyond the various league national titles.[/quote]
