if you're at an ASPIRE showcase, then I'm guessing you haven't been to an ECNL one. So pipe down

Yes scouts. It's better to be on an Aspire team or even an ECNL R team and get playing time then being on an ECNL team with no playing time. Proven fact is scouts scout players that actually play not bench riders. So if you are on a GA or ECNL teams and think you wil get scouted on the bench you may want to rethink lol. Nothing wrong with either Aspire or ECNL R.

There were some baller Aspire Teams in the Super Groups.
NYFC Won their U14 Super Group Handily... but then I saw they only have and Aspire Team and not a GA level team... So I expect they will be promoted into the Full GA league.
The Player Recovery Lounge was a cool feature the players enjoyed.

Was a very good to great event.
Four officials at each game. Center, two ARs, and one between the benches.
Cards were checked prior to each of our games.
Veo's were at every field. Teams were informed to not bring their own.
Aspire signs everywhere. Not GA signs...Aspire signage.
Reasonably priced, local hotels.
There was not much to dislike to be honest.
Obviously if you are looking for high end soccer and signing letter of intent, this is not what you want or need. For the other 75%, it was a great event.
Thanks so much. Very good for these girls. Well done GA!

Yet another case of adults tearing girls down for working hard and having fun.
The PP asked a simple question about feedback. This board continues to show the actual issues with youth soccer. It’s not pay to play, it’s the adults.

Any meaningful feedback from this weekends first GA Aspire Showcase? With Aspire in its first year, we are from a club that does not yet have full GA. How was the level? Were there any scouts? Better or worse for recruiting ages than Jefferson Cup or WAGS or some of the larger Showcases like PDA or NCFC?
