Probably because youth leagues are pay to play. There was no cost to players attending.

That said, I heard the best college players aren't attending the college combine this week. The top players are already well known and don't need to attend this event - some are signed and others are in active communication w teams.


This makes a lot of sense. The NWSL got rid of the draft.

This seems to be similar to certain connected players getting private invites to train with NWSL clubs.

Connected or high performing/high potential?


Those 3 are the best players in the area in their birth year.
