Rather than just playing with the "A" or "B" team, you could showcase as an individual player, right - or is that just too hard?
Showcasing with a full team is much easier, particularly with some of the top clubs on Long Island. You develop a trusted relationship with the other players and coaches.

Signing up as an individual is like being a guest player in soccer without the paperwork with one major exception : lax showcase events charge extra fee$ to have individual players.
