(they do it in AAU basketball all the time) Then they watch how the kid develops and matures both physically and athletically and the kids either move up or down on the coaches recruiting chart....and oh by the way the also see how the kids parents act as well..lots of kids have missed opportunities because of their parents. I project the sidelines will continue to be lined with coaches...that's why teams like FCA, Crabs etc who have relationships with the college coaches will prosper.


More nonsense from crabland. Let us know when you see a coach at an 8th grade game.
