The college coaches have asked for the kids to be separated into as few elite teams as possible and they want them all to be in one or 2 places at once. They do not have the time and budget like football to go find Little Johnny in the middle of nowhere. So the club owners know this and they make it happen. At all cost they make it happen. There are tons of clubs for fun you can play for. You must dance with the devil to get it done. There are options if you want them. But they will not be playing in elite events with the elite teams. Go to any website that has a 2018 verbal list and read the clubs the kids play for. I am guessing it will be less then 30 clubs. And I am also betting that those 30 clubs are dancing with the Devil one way or the other. [/quote]

Did Ryan or Cabell tell you this before they convinced you to sign on the dotted line? My son doesn't play for the "elite team", but have seen all of the major Division 1 coaches at all of his tournaments this summer so far. Don't know what else I can ask for from our second rate club, he is getting good coaching and exposure.
